A lottery designed to support independent artists within the music industry has launched.

Established by artist management company Orean, Music Lotto distributes at least 50p from every £1 ticket to support the future of the music industry and help the next generation of artists.

Orean CEO Adrian Norman described it as a project “born out of passion”. 

“Grants can be applied for if an artist needs a new instrument, some studio time or budget for a music video,” he said. 

“Our team of experts will review applications and give grants away after each draw. The more tickets bought, the more we can support talent.”
