The Royalty Network is thrilled to have collaborated with our longtime client, Back 2 Da Future Music, as co-sponsors of the second Grammy Certificate Ceremony in Kingston, Jamaica on September 13th, 2025, and to have had the opportunity to honor and celebrate with so many of our longstanding clients!
The Grammy Certificate Ceremony honored the producers, engineers, musicians, vocalists, and other creatives whose work has helped reggae and dancehall resonate around the globe. Coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the first Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, this gathering provided well-deserved and long overdue recognition to the pioneers whose contributions to Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated albums have so often been overlooked.
