Neil Portnow, [Jennifer Hudson](http://www.jenniferhudson.com/?ref=hypebot.com), and **[Ryan Tedder](http://musicbrainz.org/artist/0bc6d6e7-0858-4b73-a079-7aa681095f98.html?ref=hypebot.com)** joined forces on the GRAMMY stage last Sunday announcing the launch of the GRAMMY Creators Alliance. [The Recording Academy](http://www.grammy.org/?ref=hypebot.com) established the alliance with the goal of giving singers, songwriters, and other industry professionals a place where their voice can be amplified and effectively heard. **With Congress discussing taking action on issues directly tied to the music industry, an alliance among industry creators is more important than ever.**

**Portnow**, Recording Academy Pres./CEO, posed this question on the Feb. 8 Grammy Awards telecast:

“What if we’re all watching the Grammys a few years from now, and there’s no [Best New Artist](http://www.grammy.com/?ref=hypebot.com) award because there aren’t enough talented artists or songwriters who are actually able to make a living from their craft? Could that really happen? **Or more importantly, could any of us ever *let* that happen?** As great artists remind us this evening, music *matters*. Music has tremendous value in our lives. So while new ways of listening to music evolve, one thing should *never* change: For the artists, songwriters and producers, we must promise them that new technology and distribution will pay them fairly.”

**Goals of the Grammy Creators Alliance include:**  
• To advise Congressional leaders as they develop legislation that will ensure fair pay for all creators on all platforms.  
• To work within the industry to ensure fair royalty rates to creators on all platforms.  
• To engage the creator community and empower them to advocate for their rights.

### *"Music activism is coming at exactly the right time. From the Turtles to [Taylor Swift](http://www.taylorswift.com/?ref=hypebot.com), longtime established and new generations are speaking out. With all the changes in how we listen to music and the review of copyright laws which are set by Congress — music creators and fans must speak out NOW."*
