Aramide Sarumoh, Nigerian songstress, is set to be inducted into the Recording Academy governing board of the Grammys.
The Afro-soul vocalist, who has worked with the likes of Eldee; Adekunle Gold; and Skales, made the disclosure on Friday, in a series of celebratory tweets through her handle.
She wrote;
“When I started making music, all I knew was that I wanted to sing. I was at a point where everything seemed lost, a state of despair. I was hopeless, dejected and scared I wouldn’t make it and that my music wouldn’t be accepted,”
“I just wanted my voice to be heard. But there’s one thing about music. It promotes lots of emotions and I channeled everything I felt into it. I’m proud of the stories I’ve been able to tell. Now, music is so much more for me. It’s more than just making my voice heard. Today, I’m happy to announce to you that, after being an active voting member of the recording academy for years, this Monday, I will be inducted into the Recording Academy (The GRAMMYs) Governance Board. I will now be a part of the Governors for the Washington DC Chapter board.”
