NZ On Air Music have announced results of the November 2022 NewMusic Single funding round for which they received 217 applications.
Up to $10,000 will be provided for 35 songs to be released in coming months. The funding supports artists’ recording, video, and promotion costs – aiming to help their work reach audiences in Aotearoa and beyond.
Out of those 35 artists, there are six first-time NewMusic Single funding recipients. 60% of the funded artists identify as female, female-led, gender-diverse, or as mixed-gender groups.
The judging panel consisted of Amy Tempero, Cushla Aston, Hunter Keane, Karl Lock, Leonie Hayden, Martyn Pepperell, and Jeff Newton (NZ On Air).
The next round of NewMusic Single funding will close on January 19 – more info here.
