The Grammy Awards are annual awards that recognize achievements in the global music industry. They are presented by the Recording Academy of the United States and the Latin Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. The awards were first held in 1959 and have since grown to include more than 25 fields and 94 categories. The trophy depicts a gilded gramophone, which is why the awards are also called the Grammys

The Grammy Awards have a mission statement that says: “We celebrate music’s ability to connect us all, to fuel the creative spirit, and to inspire positive change in the world.”

They honoured the best recordings, compositions, and artists of the eligibility period, which is from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022.
