Samantha Mogwe joins Recording Academy

In a press release issued recently, she explained that the move marks a significant and deeply personal milestone in her journey as a creator, advocate, and cultural leader. She also said the invitation places her among the global collective of professionals who determine the nominees and winners of the GRAMMY Awards, one of the highest recognitions in music.

She further pointed out that the honour not only affirms her contributions to music and the broader creative sector but also puts her at the forefront of conversations shaping the future of the industry. She is now the second Motswana artist to be inducted into the Academy, following in the footsteps of her friend and fellow artist, Mpho Sebina.
