Transcript

00:00Tell me about how your work has evolved with the Grammys since you started working with the Recording Academy a few years ago

00:06We've been working with the Grammys for three years and I have to say they originally said we are going to make this a priority

00:12And a commitment and three years later. It is evident that they have

00:17So when we first started they didn't have sign language on the red carpet. They didn't have ramps all throughout

00:23They didn't have that sort of ramped dais that sort of circular dais

00:26that's a ramped dais someone in a wheelchair could potentially win a Grammy and go on up there and say a speech and

00:32That was through our work with them, but it is not just on Grammy night that we're doing this work

00:37We have programming year-round now we have

00:41We do exercises and trainings. We're doing so many things on the back end and internally through our

00:48internal partnership with the Recording Academy and through their

00:51Organizations a organizational arm rad RAA plus D

00:55And so us at ramped which is our organization are honored to be able to pair and continue to grow

01:01So when you come back to me in three years, it's gonna be a whole nother level and that's what I'm excited about that continued commitment

01:09So exciting and tonight's an exciting night not just because of all the big-name nominees

01:13But because this event is also raising money for wildfire relief. I know that you've had some efforts in that as well

01:19Can you talk about them a little bit? Yes a few nights ago

01:23Ramped and live nation came together to raise funds for music professionals with disabilities

01:29Impacted by wildfire relief. We were able to open up a micro granting fund and no questions asked

01:36Micro-granting fund for anyone who lived in the LA area that needed help and relief

01:40We also amplified crew nations effort and their commitment to also help folks who work in live

01:45Music be able to have wildfire relief

01:48So I just have to say there have been so much really high-level efforts from us to crew nation to music cares

01:55Because at the end of the day we are all one large music community and when one of us hurts

02:00We all heard and we're showing that we can come together and really rebuild together. That's the beauty of tonight
