COMPOSERS WING ADDS LEADERSHIP COUNCIL

The Recording Academy's newly launched Songwriters & Composers Wing has announced a 23-member Leadership Council of music creators that includes Justin Tranter, Savan Kotecha, Sue Ennis and Emily Warren.

The Leadership Council will meet regularly to inform the wing's direction and take the lead in fostering recognition of songwriters working in all genres.

To better serve creators internationally, the wing has also forged a partnership with the Latin Recording Academy, working to better serve global creators who identify as songwriters and composers.

"The wing's mission is to provide composers and songwriters a home base in the industry that presents opportunities, advocates on their behalf and celebrates their important contributions to our music community," said Susan Stewart, Managing Director of the Recording Academy Songwriters & Composers Wing. "We're thrilled to take action alongside our newly established Leadership Council to help further the wing's mission of amplifying the work and voices of creators that call these crafts home."
