As a musician myself, I take that to heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Billboard<\/em> first reported Friday that Mason Jr. and other Grammy leaders had been meeting with community members from across various Asian music genres including K-Pop, J-Pop, C-Pop and India over the past two weeks, seeking insight on how to improve the new category. It\u2019s a notable move given that the deadline for Grammy submissions is just a week away, and first round voting is slated to start on Oct. 12.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cOver the past six years, the Academy has shown that it can act decisively and move swiftly to meet the needs of our music community,\u201d Mason Jr. said. \u201cThe management and Board are committed to working together to keep pace with that progress and ensure the musicians we intend to honor feel truly seen and heard by our actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=5305\">Europe\u2019s Broadcasters Want to Get Bigger.
