Recording Fund is a 501c3 nonprofit, alternative funding model for the independent music community. We help independent artists and musicians record their music, and in doing so, we create jobs for audio and recording professionals.The commodification of music has distorted what it means to be involved in music these days. Artists and musicians are more prolific than ever, but many talented artists struggle to fund their recordings. The narrow commercial scope of traditional funding models, such as record labels, denies opportunity to the majority of working artists. In this polarized landscape, we aim to support the independent music community by creating a non-merit-based funding model outside of the commercial lens.
