Migros Culture Percentage promotes pop music labels
For the ninth time, Migros Culture Percentage is offering label and artist management funding. The program is aimed at pop and independent labels as well as artist management based in Switzerland.
Migros Culture Percentage wants to use the grants to help professionalize structures. According to Philipp Schnyder von Wartensee from Migros Culture Percentage, this is the only way labels and agencies can build up and support the Swiss pop scene more effectively. The supported labels and managements receive contributions of between 20,000 and 50,000 Swiss francs.
Independent labels that have released at least four albums by artists based in Switzerland within the last 24 months or have provided a comparable service are eligible. Artist agencies must perform comprehensive management tasks. In addition, they must support at least two Swiss musicians who have already released a CD.
Applications can be submitted to Migros Culture Percentage until December 6, 2013. The winners will be announced on March 28, 2014 in Zurich as part of the m4music festival.
