Last Thursday, June 19, 2003, at the Beverly Hills Hotel, I received the Undergraduate Scholarship Award from Los Angeles Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences (aka The Recording Academy.) The Recording Academy is internationally known for the Grammy Awards. The awards (Undergraduate, Graduate and Trade Tech) are given out to music students who have expressed their great passion in the field of music.

During the Press Conference (prior to the luncheon), I was very honored to meet (and have a photo with) Governor’s Award Recipients’ Lionel Richie and Randy Newman, as well as Dick Clark, who was the presentor for the award for Lionel Richie. Pictures with the above-mentioned will be posted soon.

Thank you, Recording Academy, for believing in me.
