UNIFIED Music Group is building an ecosystem for creative talent to thrive and, alongside its partner companies, is committed to nurturing the next generation of creatives. Past Grant recipients, including Bush Music Fund, Solar Sessions and Music in Exile, have showcased the transformative power of community and creativity.
Over 800 individuals and groups have applied for The UNIFIED Grant since it was first announced by UNIFIED Music Group’s Founder and CEO, Jaddan Comerford, at BIGSOUND 2016. The Grant is inspired by UNIFIED’s journey from bedroom beginnings as Boomtown Records, to its position as one of Australia’s largest independent music companies. UNIFIED now offers artist management, recorded music and booking services, and invests in some of Australia’s leading founders.
Since its inception, the Grant – now in its fifth instalment – has gifted creatives, innovators and entrepreneurs $125,000. The funds are presented by the UNIFIED Impact Committee, which assesses successful applicants and their funded projects in alignment with the Impact Priorities of Environment, First Nations, Education and Pathways, Health and Wellbeing, and Community Engagement.
A message from Jaddan Comerford – CEO & Founder, UNIFIED Music Group
It’s always inspiring and humbling to receive so many worthy submissions for The UNIFIED Grant each year. Our independent music community and those who operate within it have such brilliant, bubbling ideas for making it even better, and I’m so pleased UNIFIED Music Group and its Impact Committee is in a position to help these ideas become a reality.
I really encourage anyone out there who has been working on an idea, trying to grow a business, or seeking support to bring a dream into reality in the independent music community to apply for the Grant. We’ve seen the impact it can have on ideas, people, businesses, creativity and community, and would love to have you be a part of it.
