Bleona achieves another international success, takes on important role at the Grammys

Albanian singer Bleona Qereti has shared an important achievement in her international career with her followers.

Through a post on social media, she announced that she has been accepted as a voting member of the Recording Academy, the institution that organizes the prestigious Grammy Awards.

In her reaction, the singer stressed that this moment carries special meaning, as music has never been just a profession for her, but a way of life.

Bleona Qereti underlined that this recognition carries even more weight given that she has built her career as an independent artist, without the support of a major music industry machine.

Bleona’s reaction

I am truly honored to be invited to join @recordingacademy as a @grammys Voting Member.

This moment means more to me than words can express, because music has never simply been “my career” — it is my life.

As an independent artist, this recognition carries even deeper meaning. It is a powerful reminder that talent, perseverance and authenticity can be seen, even without a traditional path or the backing of a major machine.

This proves that institutions of this caliber, such as the #RecordingAcademy, recognize artists who build their careers without shortcuts, without major backing and without an established system behind them.

I am proud to be one of those artists.

I come from #Albania — a country that, when I began my journey, had ZERO music industry infrastructure, let alone a path toward an international career. For most artists, it was not even something they dared to dream about.

I did.

I started with nothing but my love for music, relentless passion, unwavering determination and a dream that refused to fade. Everything I have achieved has been built from the ground up — with faith, resilience, tireless work and an unshakable belief in myself!!

No shortcuts. No plan.

Just my family, my wonderful fans and a vision I refused to give up on.

This is not just a milestone moment for me. It is for every independent artist chasing a dream against all odds — for all those who have ever been told they are dreaming too big, that they cannot make it because they come from the “wrong” place, lack the “right” connections or simply do not “fit the mold.”

Thank you to the Recording Academy for this extraordinary honor. I am proud to have a seat at the table and excited to help celebrate the music and artists shaping our future.

To the power of music, to dreaming without limits and to never giving up.
