Youth Music has announced a new fund for music developers to support the careers of young creatives.
Grants of up to £30,000 will help address a "diversity deficit" in the music industries, according to a report released by the charity. A survey of 1300 young adults undertaken before the pandemic and interviews conducted during the lockdown indicated "minimal understanding of the widespread nature of portfolio careers and freelancing in the arts", with most participants imagining themselves in one well earning role.
"This call to ‘bridge the gap’ is not new but these flaws need addressing with new urgency for a post Covid-19 world," Youth Music's report said.
