The Josh Pyke Partnership is thrilled to announce the winner for 2020 is Melbourne based singer-songwriter Bec Sykes.
Made possible by Josh Pyke and APRA AMCOS, the partnership provides an unsigned musician or band with the opportunity to receive mentorship and funding that will help to grow their career.
“I’m still pinching myself. It’s a massive vote of confidence to have people like Josh and the team say they believe in my music. Receiving this grant means I can record my songs and get closer towards releasing my first body of work. Plus being mentored by such notable people in the Aus music industry will be invaluable. As a completely independent artist, winning this is a huge leg up for my career and I’m so grateful. My heart is beating very fast.” – Bec Sykes
“It’s so important for emerging artists to be given a voice, recognised and supported on their career path at this challenging time. APRA AMCOS is proud to be involved once again with the Josh Pyke Partnership, which provides both meaningful financial support and invaluable creative and management guidance. We look forward to hearing more from Bec and wish her our congratulations.” – Jana Gibson, APRA AMCOS Head of Member Services
Bec will be awarded a $7500 grant to kick-start her music career. In addition to the financial reward she will also receive valuable insight and mentorship from Josh Pyke himself and a meeting with Gregg Donovan (Wonderlick Entertainment) and Stephen Wade (Select Music).
Congratulations Bec! |
