GRAMMYS ON CAPITOL HILL

April 21-23, 2026
 Protecting Creators At Music's Biggest Week In D.C. The Grammy organization is on Capitol Hill this week for the 25th anniversary of GRAMMYS On The Hill, and the conversations happening there will shape what the future looks like for the next generation of creators.

Who Owns Your Voice? We're In D.C. Fighting For The Answer.

The Music Industry Is At An Inflection Point. AI can now clone a voice, generate a song, and replicate a likeness — all without asking the person behind it. And right now, there's no federal law that says that's wrong. That's not a future problem. That's today's fight. Every year, the Recording Academy brings musicians, songwriters, producers, and executives to Washington to make sure lawmakers hear from the people whose livelihoods are on the line.

That's GRAMMYS On The Hill. And this year, our 25th anniversary, might be the most important one yet. 

WHAT WE 'RE FIGHTING FOR

The Ask Is Simple. The Stakes Are Huge. We're not anti-technology. AI has real potential as a creative tool. But innovation without guardrails isn't progress...it's risk. Here's what's on the table in 2026:

NO FAKES Act

First-ever federal protections for artists' voice, image, and likeness. No more AI deepfakes without consent or accountability.

TRAIN Act

Gives copyright holders a way to find out if their work was used to train AI models without permission. Transparency starts here.

CLEAR Act

Requires AI companies to disclose when they use copyrighted material for training. Transparency, full stop.

If you've ever recorded a song, written a lyric, built something creative, or simply exist as a human being in a world shaped by creativity, this affects you. This isn't just about musicians; it impacts every. single. person.

Meet the Lawmakers Doing The Work.

This year's awards honor two members of Congress who've crossed the aisle to fight for creators in a moment when bipartisan cooperation isn't exactly a given.
