Find money for your music

About Me

If you're Canadian I can help you apply for money from funding organizations for your album, video, tour, promotion, etc. Many bands find that the application and completion processes for FACTOR money and other government funds are impossibly time-consuming and complicated. I'm an expert!
There's absolutely no risk. If you don't get the money, you don't pay me anything. If you get a grant or loan, you pay me a small percentage (15% of the total award).
I have been in the music business for 25 years and have made many successful applications to these funding organizations. There's no guarantee of course. Your music stands on its own. But I can make your application and guide you through all of the completion documents. I've made successful applications for Sum 41, Emm Gryner, In-Flight Safety, vitaminsforyou, Royal Wood and more.
I'll let you know what deadlines are approaching for which you qualify and, if you choose to apply, I will take care of all the details.

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."
Hunter S. Thompson

My Interests

Some things you might want to know about me:
