A New Vision
bringing Humanity back to Music
Today's music industry, driven by profit, overlooks the human experience it's built on. Artists' hopes and dreams shouldn't be exploited or discarded but nurtured with kindness and opportunity. Every song recorded is a story told by a human.

Granting Harmony
Our grants Record Music and Create Jobs
The independent music economy depends on artists and musicians having the monetary resources to create. Our grants support the recording process while creating economic opportunity by being paid directly to those hired to record, produce, mix, and master on an artist's behalf. This creates multiple touch points of impact along the grant path and directly stimulating the independent music economy.

How Recording Fund Works
Our Process
Applications, Not Auditions
We don't chase trends. Our grants-based program is focused on finding and supporting dedicated, driven, and diverse applicants - not breaking artists. We believe that music stands before product, and we aim to be a gateway, not a gatekeeper.
Record Music. Create Jobs.
Being a musician today can be costly and usually comes with very little return. Our grants help artists and musicians pay for the cost of recording, which in return creates jobs for producers, engineers, studios and more.
