MOBO press release – We are pleased to announce the fourth round of the MOBO Help Musicians Fund!

Having run three hugely successful rounds of the MOBO Help Musicians Fund since 2017, resulting in 50 projects receiving support, this year’s Fund grows from a £60,000 to a £100,000 investment into emerging artists creating music of black origin. We have also examined the further needs of musicians and bolstered the package of support to empower musicians to drive forward their businesses at a crucial time.

The expansion of the MOBO Help Musicians Fund will see each awardee receive:• £3,000 grant towards creative output
• 1:1 business advice session tailored to each awardee’s individual needs and delivered via experienced music industry professionals, as coordinated by ThinkMusic

• 1:1 health consultation with British Association for Performing Arts Medicine (BAPAM) professionals, covering all aspects of a musician’s health, including physical and mental health needs and specialist referrals where required
