Albanian singer Bleona Qereti has shared with her followers an important achievement in her international career.

Through a post on social media, she announced that she has been accepted as a voting member of the Recording Academy, the institution that organizes the prestigious Grammy Awards.

In her reaction, the singer emphasizes that this moment has a special meaning, as music for her has not just been a profession, but a way of life.

Bleona Qereti underlines that this assessment takes on even more weight given that she has built her career as an independent artist, without the support of a large music industry.

Bleona's reaction

I am truly honored to be invited to join @recordingacademy as a @grammysVoting Member.

This moment means more to me than words can express, because music has never just been "my career" - it's my life.

As an independent artist, this recognition carries an even deeper meaning. It's a powerful reminder that talent, perseverance, and authenticity can be seen, even without a traditional path or the support of a big machine.

This proves that institutions of this caliber, like the #AcademyofRecording, recognize artists who build their careers without shortcuts, without great support, and without a system in place behind them.

I am proud to be one of those artists.

I come from #Albania - a country that, when I started my journey, had ZERO music industry infrastructure, let alone a path to an international career. For most artists, it wasn't even something they dared to dream about.

I do.

I started with nothing but my love for music, unwavering passion, unwavering determination, and a dream that refused to fade. Everything I have achieved has been built from the ground up - with faith, perseverance, hard work, and an unwavering belief in myself!!

No shortcuts. No plan.
Just my family, my amazing fans, and a vision I refused to give up on.

This isn't just a milestone for me. It's for every independent artist who pursues a dream against all odds - for everyone who's ever been told they're dreaming too much, that they can't make it because they come from the "wrong" place, lack the "right" connections, or simply don't "fit the mold."

Thank you to the Recording Academy for this incredible honor. I am proud to have a seat at the table and excited to help celebrate the music and artists who shape our future.

About the power of music, about dreaming without limits and never giving up.
