Promoting labels
For the twelfth time, Migros Culture Percentage launches its promotion program for labels and artist management.
This support program is aimed at pop and independent labels and artist management agencies based in Switzerland. Applications can be submitted to Migros Culture Percentage until December 4. The winners will be announced on April 1, 2017 in Zurich as part of the m4music festival. This year's promotion amounts to a total of CHF 50,000.
Independent Swiss labels and artist management companies such as Two Gentlemen in Lausanne, On the Camper Records in Ticino and Bakara Music in Zurich do a great deal for the Swiss music scene. Yet they operate in a difficult economic sector. That's why the Migros Culture Percentage has been promoting labels and artist management since 2006. Supported labels and management receive contributions ranging from CHF 10,000 to CHF 50,000.
This promotion scheme is aimed at independent labels that have released at least four albums by Swiss-resident artists in the last 24 months, or have provided a comparable service. For artist agencies, it is important that they take on management tasks. In addition, they should handle at least two Swiss musicians who have already released albums.
The deadline for applications to receive a promotion contribution in 2017 is December 4, 2016.
