Women & The Grammy For “Producer of The Year, Classical”

Women and the Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical – Though audio has made many advancements, women’s representation is still playing at a low volume: Out of 415 nominations in this category, only ten women have ever been counted as nominees.The Double Glazed Glass Ceiling
267 individual Grammy nominations have been made since the category’s inception. Several producers have been selected more than once. 7 of these 267 nominations were presented to women. That means less than 3% of those considered for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical has been female.
