In this episode, I sit down with producer, songwriter, and music insider Larry Dvoskin for an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation about the history of the Grammy Awards—and what they really mean to artists.

We talk about why the Grammys were created, how they’ve evolved, the politics and culture behind the voting process, and the parts of Grammy Week most fans never see. Larry also shares his personal experiences inside the Grammy world, from industry functions to working alongside Grammy-winning artists, offering a rare insider’s perspective on validation, legacy, and the realities of recognition in music.

This is a candid, musician-to-musician conversation about art, industry, and the complicated relationship between creativity and awards.
