GRAMMY U Amplifier Center Stage is a social media platform that provides up-and-coming college musicians with a chance to have their music heard by artists who have already made it to the top. Five of today’s biggest A-List artists will help curate the GRAMMY U Amplifier Center Stage experience and use their prominent presence to help rising musicians find a bigger audience and kick start their career as musicians. This online social media campaign will culminate with a performance finale on Thursday, January 23rd as an official GRAMMY Week event. GRAMMY U Amplifier Center Stage encourages young musicians everywhere to keep making music and live their dreams. We need YOU to help us spread the word to student musicians about this incredible opportunity!
