New Initiative to Tackle Anti-Black Racism & Disparities within the Music Industry (UK)

A new initiative has been launched by the PRS Foundation to tackle anti-Black racism and disparities within the music industry.

Run in partnership with YouTube Music, Beggars Group and the Black Music Coalition, the Power Up Participant Programme aims to break down barriers to create a fairer and more equitable music industry. The initiative will support 40 Black music creators and industry figures a year, working in any genre or sub-sector across the UK by providing grants of up to £15,000, marketing support, as well as support from partners and mentoring.

Funding can be used to support music creation, live performances, and distribution, marketing and promotion costs.

The deadline for applications is the 10th March 2021.
