Grammy Trustees Award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grammy Trustees Award is awarded by The Recording Academy to individuals who, during their careers in music, technology, and so on have made significant contributions, other than performance, to the field of recording.[1] From 1983 onwards, performers could also receive this award. This award is distinct from the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which honors performers.[2]
