The next round of recipients of Levi's Music Relief Fund have been revealed, with some of the country’s best artists receiving funding to assist in national projects, skills development and mental health and well-being amid the COVID pandemic.

Thanks to Levi’s and BIGSOUND producer QMusic, local legends Angie McMahon, L-FRESH The LION, Mo’Ju, Jesswar and Eliza & The Delusionals have all been awarded $4,500, plus access to workshops and online courses to assist with self-development, insight and personal growth.

“BIGSOUND is proud to be a part of the story of winners Angie McMahon, L-FRESH The LION, Mo’Ju, Jesswar and Eliza & the Delusionals,” QMusic CEO Angela Samut said.

“Since performing at BIGSOUND, these artists have gone on to release albums, tours and connect with international audiences. We are thankful to Levi’s who are helping them during this time of financial hardship as well as The Indigo Project and Bolstr.”

Mo’Ju added: “I’m in Victoria, so we have a pretty strict lock-down, but we’re trying to stay positive, stay creative and I’m working on new music.

“We have taken a massive hit to the income without live music, so every little bit counts, so thank you to everyone who has been a supporter.”

“I’m so grateful to have a prize that is just going to help me make and release music at this time,” McMahon said.

“Obviously, we can’t be touring and we won’t be doing that again until it’s safe for people to be in shows. I’m in Melbourne, so I’m enjoying writing songs and being involved in art and music. I think that those things are going to be really important to help us get through such a strange time like this and stay connected.”
