Jared Brenner Joins Recording Academy’s 2026 Membership Class

Brenner brings a dual-lens approach to his new role, bridging the gap between traditional music industry demands and the complexities of venture capital. His legal practice focuses on navigating label deals, publishing agreements, and catalog acquisitions, while simultaneously advising artists on building and selling corporate entities.

"I am honored to join the Recording Academy and to stand alongside a global community so committed to protecting and elevating creators," Brenner said. Managing Partner Scott Alderton noted that the recognition highlights Brenner’s rare ability to marry legal sophistication with industry-specific insight. As a member of the organization, which boasts over 30,000 professionals, Brenner will participate in year-round initiatives aimed at fostering industry advancement and supporting the integrity of the Grammy Awards process.
