PRS Foundation, the UK’s leading charitable funder of new music and talent development, together with Liverpool City Council have announced a new partnership for the Momentum Music Fund.
The new enterprise is offering Momentum funding and new Momentum Accelerator support to talented musicians based in Liverpool.
The partnership will ensure that at least £20,000 of grant support will be offered to Liverpool based artists before March 2019, with two levels of support pledged.
At least one artist in the city is said to receive up to £15,000 of support.
This artist will demonstrate outstanding music, UK-wide traction, strong team, co-investment from the industry, and solid plans needed to warrant higher levels of investment.
Previous recipients of the Momentum Music Fund based in Liverpool include GIT Award nominee Lapsley, All We Are, Jalen N’Gonda and Trudy and the Romance.
Momentum artists will be selected by an independent panel of music industry experts, one of which will be held in Liverpool.
At least two Momentum applicants in Liverpool will receive up to £5,000 each through PRS Foundation’s new Momentum Accelerator.
These artists will be selected for their outstanding music, growing fanbases, early signs of industry interest, and their suitability for support from a smaller bursary with mentoring from regional and national experts.

Bristol nu-metal outfit Profiler have released their third video/single, Re-Identify. Profiler was the brainchild of singer, guitarist and songwriter, Mike Evans.
After a lengthy scouting period, Mike came across powerhouse rhythm section Joe Johnson and Oscar Hocking on bass and drums.
Speaking on the new single, frontman Mike Evans said “Re-Identify is about dealing with the anxiety created by the modern world we all live in. More specifically it is about feeling trapped in your own mind and being unable to ‘Re-Identify‘ yourself with the natural world of nature we all came from.
