Recap of RAMPD At the GRAMMYS

RAMPD Makes Waves at the 2026 GRAMMYS!

GRAMMYs® 2026 marked a true takeover. Our leadership represented on the Red Carpet, with our CEO, President and VP, serving looks with intention and speaking to media on our collective power.

During the Award Ceremony, the night started not good, but Amazing as RAMPD Pro Member Matthew Whitaker earned a GRAMMY for “Super Mario Praise Break.” This win is about undeniable TALENT at the highest level. Matthew is part the RAMPD Community, and he's showing the way that our Pro Members are the Definition of True Competitiveness at the highest level.

To top off the Acccessibiliity aspect, RAMPD worked up Deaf inclusion this year! Beyond ASL on the Red Carpet, Deaf journalist Melmira covered the show from LA Live and the media center, and Deaf influencers like Raven Sutton were invited to experience in-room ASL at the premier and telecast ceremonies!

Our community would not be possible without our Friends and Family showing up to Support their Fellow Peers and Artists. The amazing close-knit community uplifts each other by showing support and love. As prooof, our network showed up strong. Dozens of Pro Member GRAMMY members came through to enjoy the show live and represent!

Last, but certainly not least,, our West Coast Chapter gathered at Yard House, an accessible and welcoming space, where conversation flowed and energy stayed high all day. This wasn’t just a great night. It was a clear signal of what is possible when ACCESS MEETS EXCELLENCE and Disabled leadership shapes the music industry to be more inclusive...from the inside!
