On behalf of SS Global Media & Entertainment, I am proud to officially announce our 2026 AMP Community FYC selections for GRAMMY® consideration: @Sirap TheHybrid @Kent Wade @NyAira Collins Originally, we were only selecting ONE artist from the AMP Community. However, after reviewing the recommendations from my executive team and seeing the level of creativity, talent, commitment, and overall readiness represented, I felt there was good reason to personally commit the additional resources and expense to move forward with more than one. So instead of one, I committed to three FYC submissions from the AMP Community alone, completely separate from the artists being submitted through SS Global Entertainment. HOW THE DECISION WAS MADE As I stated in the original announcement, this was never going to be based solely on who had the best song. To eliminate my own personal bias, I removed myself from the final selection process. My executive team conducted the review and made the final selections. There was an incredible amount of talent and creativity represented. The fact that these three artists were selected does not mean others were not talented or did not submit great records. There was a lot considered. We looked at the music, creativity, originality, talent, presentation, and overall quality. But we also looked at your commitment to what we are building within AMP. Are you actively involved in the AMP Community? Are you testing and using the resources and tools we provide? Are you applying those tools to your content, marketing, music, and business? Are you completing the assignments? Are you participating when opportunities to test, learn, and develop are presented? Are you consistently showing up? Are you doing something with your music career beyond simply releasing records? Are you demonstrating through your actions that you are applying what I am teaching?
