In this episode, I sit down with Clara Cullen, Service Delivery Manager at Help Musicians—a charity dedicated to empowering artists by providing essential music funding for EPs, tours, and groundbreaking creative projects. Clara shares invaluable insights into what separates successful funding applications from those that fall short and reveals the common traps that prevent many artists from unlocking the financial support they need. We uncover the strategies behind crafting a standout music funding application and break down the myths about who qualifies for support. This is a must-watch for any musician looking to turn their creative vision into reality with the right backing from music grants. If you’re serious about taking your music career to the next level and applying for music funding, don’t let confusion or fear of rejection hold you back.
