Greater Good

Good Intent are proud to announce Meanjin/Brisbane-based artist ixaras, as the fourth recipient of their independent artist initiative ‘Greater Good’. The package has helped guide and support the next generation of exceptional musical talents by providing in-kind services and a cash grant totalling over $30,000 AUD.

The 2024 package was in collaboration with partners Forbes Street Studios, Jungle Merchandise, PHILTER, Zenith Records, The Music, Media Arts Lawyers, Billy Zammit, PLAKKIT, White Sky and Ben Mitchell. The pack includes a $4,000 AUD cash grant to further develop their career.

Rick Bridgman of Good Intent notes, “With songwriting and performance talent in abundance, well beyond her years, ixaras is such a truly gifted artist with a clear-cut vision for her craft and future. So excited to see GG feed into her plans and to thrive in ’25 and beyond!”

Greater Good (2024) launched with a fresh Industry Assessment Panel from key figures across the wider music landscape to help assess applications and guide decision-making, with Joe Muller (MusicNSW), Glenn Dickie (Sounds Australia), Jane Slingo (EMC / Young Strangers / VibeLab), Dan Morgan (Astral People), Emmy Mack (RedHook / triple j), Jess Wust (Cult Artists) and Nic Kelly (Hit Network) joining the initiative.

Ahead of her upcoming release, ‘This City’ on Friday, May 16, ixaras notes how the Greater Good pack will assist in her upcoming strategy: “Being selected for the Greater Good Initiative has been a truly surreal experience. As an independent artist navigating the early stages of my career, having access to this kind of guidance and support is invaluable. Starting out in the music industry as a teenager without existing connections is incredibly challenging, so to be chosen for this opportunity means the world to me. I’m deeply grateful to Good Intent for believing in my potential. This year is shaping up to be an exciting one, and I can’t wait to share what’s coming next.”

Good Intent offers a range of services across radio plugging, playlist pitching, worldwide blogs, digital marketing, label services, tastemaker club and radio promo, artist management, venue bookings and run a photography/videography studio Good Loco out of their Bulanaming/Marrickville-based office.
