Youth Music announces £2,500 grants for 18-25-year-olds as part of its NextGen Fund

Youth Music has announced the latest round of funding as part of its NextGen Fund, an initiative supported by Dr Martens, TikTok, to help emerging artists and professionals develop skills required to get involved in the fast-paced music industry.

The fund is for, but not limited to, early-stage musicians and wider music creatives aged 18-25 — focusing on those looking for their start in careers such as production or A&R, with room to pursue roles that may not have been defined within the industry just yet.

With grants going up to £2,500, successful applicants would be able to launch a project, idea, or business. It is especially aimed at those who lack the financial freedom to pursue their goals.
