Josh Pyke Teams With APRA For $7,500 Mentorship

Singer/songwriter Josh Pyke is set to announce the Josh Pyke Partnership today, a mentorship for an unsigned artist which will be offered in conjunction with APRA.

Pyke, who will release a new album this year, has won four ARIA Awards and is a Hottest 100 regular.

The mentorship, which includes $7,500 funding, will feature a meeting with Pyke, his manager and Wonderlick Entertainment owner Gregg Donovan and his agent and owner of Select Music Stephen Wade.

An initial meeting will be held with the artist to develop a business plan for their career, with a follow-up session to be held three months later.

Entry will be open to Australian citizens of every age, and hopefuls will be asked to submit a one-page business plan that outlines where they intend to use the grant money. The plan, including a link to at least one song streaming online, should be emailed to partnership@joshpyke.com.

Entries close Friday 31 May and the winner will be announced Monday 1 June via Josh Pyke's fanclub and Busking For Change.
