of these visionaries and this community, we hope to play a small part of
sparking creativity and inspiring future songwriters, producers, and
musicians.”
Perry is being recognized at the 2019 A Night At The GRAMMY Museum
gala for her considerable creative accomplishments as a music producer
and songwriter, and her longtime support of a number of causes through
We Are Hear—the combination record label, publishing house, management
company, and production entity she launched with multiplatinum producer
Kerry Brown in 2017—which recently raised $1 million for Woolsey Fire
recovery with their One Love Malibu Festival benefit concert. Perry is a
Songwriters Hall Of Fame inductee for working with artists such as
Adele, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, P!nk, and Britney Spears, and
was also nominated in 2018 for a GRAMMY® Award for Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical, making her the first woman in 15 years to be nominated in the category.
The GRAMMY Museum Foundation is committed to cultivating a greater
understanding of the history and significance of music. The Museum
fulfills its mission of making music a valued and indelible part of our
society through its education programs. The education goals include
creating an enhanced exploratory experience for students and teachers
visiting the Museum, equipping K-12 educators with strategies and
resources to demonstrate the power of music in the classroom, educating
youth and families in ways that encourage and enrich their own music
appreciation and expression, preparing youth to pursue post-secondary
education and professional careers in the music industry and related
fields, increasing access to music programs in underprivileged
communities, empowering youth to reach their full creative potential,
and contributing to and leading the movement to increase music education
in schools and communities. The Museum uses music as a gateway to
learning, inspiring and cultivating creativity, and critical
self-expression.
GRAMMY Camp, which recently announce that it will take place from
July 23 – July 27 at the University of Southern California this year
featuring guest artists The Head And The Heart and JoJo, is one of
several education initiatives the GRAMMY Museum Foundation supports
throughout the year. Other upcoming programs include the annual Summer
Session from June 24–29 at GRAMMY Museum L.A. Live and GRAMMY Career
Days. Summer Session is a six-day nonresidential program that provides
novice and intermediate songwriters, who are currently enrolled in high
school in Southern California, the resources necessary to build a solid
foundation in songwriting. Career Day—sponsored by the Ford Motor
Company Fund in a few regional cities throughout the month of
May—provides insight and advice to high school students about careers in
the music industry.
