At Help Musicians, we believe that you, the music creators, really benefit from support which enables you to focus on three key areas of your career at the same time: making music, business development and health & wellbeing. So, this is exactly how Do It Differently supports musicians.
Awardees receive:
- £3,000 in financial support towards creative output
- 1:1 business advice sessions tailored to your needs and delivered via experienced music industry professionals, as coordinated by ThinkMusic
- 1:1 health consultation with British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM) professionals, covering all aspects of a musician’s health, including physical and mental health needs and specialist referrals where required
Who can apply?
This support is for professional musicians of all genres and disciplines, with a focus on independent music creators who are controlling one or more aspects of their career (e.g. self-managing, self-releasing, self-producing).
You can be a solo artist, composer, group member, songwriter, producer or a multidisciplinary artist.
Further information about projects we can support and how to apply can be found in the guidelines.
