Following criticism for its treatment of female musicians, the Recording Academy announced today (March 6) that veteran attorney Christina “Tina” Tchen will lead a new task force to address diversity and inclusion issues in the music industry. “As part of its charter, the task force will identify the various barriers and unconscious biases faced by underrepresented communities throughout the music industry and, specifically, across Recording Academy operations and policies,” reads a press release from the Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammy Awards every year. “In an effort to determine pathways toward greater parity at every level of the organization, the task force will look specifically at Recording Academy governance, hiring and promotion practices, membership, awards and telecast.” Tchen currently works at Buckley Sandler and oversees the law firm’s Chicago office.
