First to clarify who the members are:
How do I qualify to become a Voting member?
You need to have creative or technical credit on a minimum of six tracks (or their equivalent) in at least one voting discipline and the album must have been commercially released in the United States. Qualifying tracks can be on one album or a combination of albums. In the music video and craft categories you must have at least six commercial or promotional videos/albums released in the United States.
The new digital qualification process gives prospective members two ways to apply for Voting membership consideration:
Option 1: Digital Distribution
1. Applicant must be credited on a minimum of 12 tracks, consisting of one release or multiple releases or two full length releases.
2. Applicant must have a Web site promoting him/herself as an artist. Promotion could include upcoming releases, tour schedule and other non-defined criteria establishing the fact the artist is supporting his/her craft through promotion. (This does not apply to non-performance categories such as engineer, producer, songwriter, art direction, notes writer, etc.).
3. Album must be available for sale to the general public in an established online retail setting. Examples: Amazon.com, CD Baby, iTunes, Rhapsody, Yahoo, Emusic, Musicmatch, SNOCAP, CD Universe, etc.
4. Any other pertinent information that may establish the applicant as pursuing a career in the business of recorded sound.
Option 2: Member Endorsement
Applicant may be endorsed by two current Voting members of The Academy. Specific forms and criteria for this avenue of membership are available by calling the Rob Accatino, Director, Membership and Marketing at 310.392.3777 or email Roberta @ grammy.com.
The Academy is in the process of updating its Web site and applications to reflect this new membership criterion.
Who does not qualify as a Voting member?
Applicants who are credited as Executive Producer, Assistant Producer, Assistant Engineer, and Production Coordinators are examples of non-voting categories. If you think you might not qualify, call Member Services at 310.392.3777 or your local chapter to discuss your questions.
What is a ‘commercial’ release?
Any album released and sold in a record store or on the Internet on a non-consignment basis.
What is ‘consignment’ distribution?
Sales at venues, on personal Web sites, Web sites such as towerrecords.com, cdnow.com, cdbaby.com, amazon.com and any Web site where albums are not purchased in advance for sale to the general public, but rather sold individually on behalf of the artist.
What documentation do I need for Voting membership?
via traditional distribution:
Generally, the liner notes from the projects you are submitting. We must be able to verify your name and what your involvement was on the project. If you are applying online, you will be prompted how to indicate your credits using allmusic.com. If the album is listed, but your name does not appear, you will have to send in a copy of the liner notes. If there is not a link to a non consignment retailer next to your allmusicguide.com link, you will have to prove distribution. This can be done by submitting a copy of an invoice indicating a record retailer who ordered the album or the names and phone numbers of retail stores where the album can be purchased on a non-consignment basis.
via digital distribution:
Album must be available for sale to the general public in an established online retail setting. Many of these links can usually be found on the album or artist’s allmusic.com page. Examples: Amazon.com, CD Baby, iTunes, Rhapsody, Yahoo, Emusic, Musicmatch, SNOCAP, CD Universe, etc. Applicant must be credited on a minimum of 12 tracks, consisting of one release or multiple releases or two full length releases. Applicant must have a Web site promoting him/herself as an artist. Promotion could include upcoming releases, tour schedule and other non-defined criteria establishing the fact the artist is supporting his/her craft through promotion. (This does not apply to non-performance categories such as engineer, producer, songwriter, art direction, notes writer, etc.).
What is an Associate membership?
If you have fewer than the six required credits for a Voting membership 2nd you are a professional who works in or with the music industry, you can qualify as an Associate member. An Associate member has the same privileges as a Voting member, such as the ability purchase tickets to the GRAMMY Awards telecast, submitting material for Award consideration and attending chapter events. Associate members do not vote in the GRAMMY Awards process.
How do I qualify as an Associate member?
Documentation for an Associate member includes a business card or company letterhead with an explanation of your involvement in the music industry. Call Member Services at 310.392.3777 or your local chapter for other forms of acceptable documentation.
Then:
Who can submit recordings for GRAMMY consideration?
Associate and Voting Recording Academy members in good dues standing. Record companies are allowed to submit entries without being members of the Recording Academy, but they must be registered with the Academy’s Awards Department. (Go to GRAMMY.com for more information on registration.)
How do I submit a recording for GRAMMY consideration?
Members and registered record companies are provided information on the Online Entry Process.
What are the requirements for a recording to be submitted for GRAMMY award consideration?
There are numerous eligibility requirements but the basic guideline is that the recording must have been released for sale and in general distribution in the United States between October 1 and August 31 of the current eligibility year. For more specific information, please contact the Awards Dept. directly at (310) 392-3777.
If my record is submitted is it considered a GRAMMY nominee?
No. If you submit a recording that meets the eligibility criteria it is considered an entry. Nominees are determined once the recording is voted on by the Academy’s voting members and the results are tabulated.
Who votes in the GRAMMY process?
Voting members of the Academy. See the “Joining and Renewing” section for specifics on voting membership criteria. Record Companies can submit their entries for consideration but do not vote.
How many categories are there?
The GRAMMY Awards consist of 31 fields (Pop, Gospel, Classical etc.) and 110 categories within these fields.
How are the GRAMMY categories changed?
Each year the Academy’s Awards & Nominations Committee reviews any proposed changes, which are then submitted to the Academy’s Board of Trustees for final approval. |
Me ke aloha
Malama pono,

What Aunty Wanda posted is in the FAQs on grammy.com. In short:
1. NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences--the formal name of "the Grammys" organization) members and record companies may submit entries.
2. Staff at NARAS verify that entries actually meet the eligibility criteria. In the Hawaiian Music category, there is a minimum percentage of Hawaiian language lyrics required UNLESS the entry is instrumental.
3. All submissions that are verified as eligible are placed on the Preliminary Ballot.
4. Voting members of NARAS may vote for up to five entries in a category.
5. The top 5 vote-getters are GRAMMY NOMINEES, and are placed on the Final Ballot.
6. Voting members of NARAS vote on the Final Ballot. There is a limit on the number of fields that a voter may vote in, but a voter may vote in any of the categories WITHIN the field.
7. The Hawaiian Music CATEGORY resides in the FIELD titled something like "American Roots Music." (used to be "Folk Music"). So anyone who votes for any of the dozen or so categories with in the American Roots Music FIELD may cast a vote in the Hawaiian category.
8. NARAS holds confidential how many votes are actually cast in each category. No one really knows exactly how many votes are cast in the Hawaiian category. There are over 17,000 voting members of NARAS. But how many of those members actually vote, and how many of those members actually vote in the American Roots Music field, and how many of those members who vote in the American Roots Music field actually vote in the Hawaiian category, is a huge guessing game. |

That is one nice article (and I've always wondered if that particular writer has ties to the Islands, what with that last name). The final words say so well what I've been trying to express:
... in the words of Mr. Boyd: “My hope is that everybody continues to do things that will have a positive impact on this, and not chip away at it. It’s so easy to tear something down, but it’s really difficult to build it back up again.” |

FWIW, I have learned that Nate Chinen (from his bio) was born and raised in Hawaii, a place where tradition and commerce coexist fruitfully, if not always agreeably. My parents were entertainers; much of my childhood was spent at the musicians union and in nightclubs. For some years I had designs on following in their footsteps, though writing also captivated me early on. Live music was a tangible thing for me long before recordings.
On another board, someone speculated:
"could his parents be Teddy and Nanci Tanaka? I believe Teddy Tanaka's real name is Teddy Chinen." |
