The Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA) and the Australia Council for the Arts today announced the latest recipients of their partnership program.

Ten new recipients received a $15,000 grant each, to assist with the creation of new sound recordings. This is the tenth round of grants that have been provided since PPCA and the Australia Council for the Arts first partnered in 2013, which to date, has provided $975k in creative grants to Australian musicians.

CEO of PPCA, Annabelle Herd, said: “We are thrilled to continue our support of Australian artists and creators by awarding these grants through PPCA’s ongoing partnership with Australia Council. We are incredibly proud to invest in the future of Australian music with real financial backing and championing the unique voices of this nation. It’s amazing to think we are now in our tenth round of this program, which has helped so many incredible voices find an audience.

“Congratulations to this year’s successful applicants, and thank you to all the fantastic artists who applied as well as Australia Council for their ongoing support.”

Australia Council’s Head of Music, Kirsty Rivers, said: “We are proud to continue to partner with PPCA to support the development of new recorded music. It’s fantastic to see the diversity represented in this latest round, and as Music Australia becomes a reality later this year we will continue to support, promote, and celebrate Australian music.”
