triple j Unearthed are giving grants to 16 emerging Australian artists to help them ‘Level Up’ their music career during the COVID-19 pandemic. Today’s recipients will receive up to $7000 per grant, to help them record new music, produce music videos, create sustainable merch and much more!
The grants, which are part of the ABC’s wider Fresh Start Fund, are an initiative designed to help independent Australian musicians grow and create incredible local content, while supporting the Australian music industry in a time when they need it the most.
From Dunsborough in Western Australia to Townsville in Far North Queensland, the triple j Unearthed ‘Level Up’ Grant recipients show the breadth of amazing Australian talent rising through the ranks.
Watch their reaction to receiving the news over Zoom – it’s hella cute!

triple j Unearthed – discovering new Australian music
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
