Ever wondered how Music's Biggest Night comes together? Welcome to Road To The GRAMMYS, a six-part series that gives a look behind the curtain and details the full journey of the GRAMMY Awards. In this episode, Michael Almanza, the Recording Academy's Senior Director of Awards, and Chief Awards & Global Industry Officer Ruby Marchand break down the process of how a product is submitted and voted upon by the Recording Academy's 10,000 voting members — and how it's all based around integrity.
Check back for more episodes of Road To The GRAMMYS throughout the 2026 GRAMMYS season.
