GRAMMYS On the Hill 2023

Yet again, GRAMMYs on the Hill proved that music is one of the few forces that can outweigh politics in Washington to gather a bipartisan crowd.
The annual event, held this year on April 26th, gathered a crowd of singers, songwriters, advocates, and government officials to celebrate creative arts and music. Music seems to gather the type of bipartisan interest and support that other issues in DC could only dream of. The evening honored 13-time GRAMMY winner Pharrell Williams, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) for their respective support of the arts.
The evening was hosted by singer and songwriter Maggie Rose, a Potomac Maryland native who has spent more than 15 years in Nashville crafting her signature sound. Other performers included JP Saxe, off his recent tour with John Mayer, and Nile Rodgers who was featured on the Daft Punk song "Get Lucky" along with Pharrell.
Hollywood on the Potomac spoke with several artists who were in town to advocate with the Recording Academy, and asked them about the defining moments that helped them grow in the industry, and how they approach creation.
