Music Needs Your Help.
Every day, musicians create the soundtrack to our lives - yet they're struggling to make ends meet in an industry that often exploits their talent. While streaming platforms generate billions, many artists can barely afford to keep creating the music we love.

Our grants provide support to talented, hard-working artists who are driven and dedicated to their craft.
Irene Diaz
After losing her sound to other people's ideas of what she should sound like, a Recording Fund grant empowered Irene Diaz to reconnect with the soulful, throwback sounds of her roots. Working with hand-selected studio musicians, she recorded "Anything for You" live in the studio.
Impact Story
J Solomon
Propelled by the success of his debut EP, J Solomon used a Recording Fund grant to record "Lying Around"—the opening track of his anticipated sophomore EP.

Impact Story
Cheek MULA
Nominated by the non-profit Guns For Grants, Cheek MULA uses his platform to call out the major label-sponsored violence that has taken over sub-genres of hip-hop. "Paying For Hits" is a critique of the injustice perpetrated by the industry but fortified by artists eager to get their moment in the spotlight.
