The meaning and importance of the Grammy was discussed in a panel appropriately titled "How to win a Grammy," at the Radio Notas conference in Los Angeles.

More on the RyN Conf:

Among the panelists were composer Edgar Cortazar, producer Sebastian Krys, singer Sunny Sauceda and singer/songwriter Aleks Syntek. Moderating was top producer KC Porter.

According to Radio Notas, "Hablar del Grammy es hablar de palabras mayores ya que nos referimos a uno de los máximos reconocimientos que un artista puede alcanzar; pero ¿Cómo podemos ganar un Grammy?
 
Aleks Syntek compartió que el tenia la idea que el Grammy era una organización corrupta. "En Latinoamérica estamos acostumbrados a la transa, a las mordidas, para todo nos piden dinero; no nos damos cuenta que esto es un asunto cultural.  Mi romance con el Grammy comenzó con un coqueteo. Los artistas también somos desconfiados.  Un día alguien me dijo que es mejor estar que no estar y esto me convenció a ser miembro y comenzar a votar. Ahora estoy interesado en ayudar, aportar a que sean mejores y más transparentes," señalo Syntek.
 
Syntek is not the only artist who has had their doubts about the Grammys or the voting process. However, academy members have worked hard for years to explain the process and welcome more musicians and artists into the organization.
