Levi's and QMusic have today revealed the five winners of the reimagined Levi's Music Relief Fund which was introduced in the wake of the COVID pandemic and the effects it has had on the music industry
In partnership with BIGSOUND, the prize has been redesigned "to offer support to more artists across Australia and New Zealand and change focus from international touring to national projects, skills development and supporting the well-being of artists."
The winners include Aussie favourites including Tkay Maidza, Jaguar Jonze, Haiku Hands and Miiesha, as well as New Zealand outfits The Beths who will all receive $4,500 in cash a customised online workshop, an online course with The Indigo Project to support self-development and an outfit from Levi’s.
“Congratulations to The Beths, Tkay Maidza, Miiesha, Haiku Hands and Jaguar Jonze,” QMusic CEO and BIGSOUND Executive Producer, Angela Samut, said.
“And thank you to Levi’s for continuing to invest in our Australian and New Zealand artists. Levi’s support of our industry through BIGSOUND has seen almost $300,000 go towards 10 artists who have gone on to become great Australian music exports.
"We are also thankful to our other supporters coming on board to provide upskilling and wellbeing support for this creative and tenacious group of musicians."
