Meet the musicians we're supporting through our Peter Whittingham Jazz Award this year.

We're providing financial support and mentorship to help artists develop their craft, record new music, and take significant steps forward in their careers:

Ask questions, take space.

DJ/Producer Nooriyah stopped by our offices last year, and we aksed her what she would say to emerging DJs and artists. 🎶

Community is often the difference between burning out and carrying on.

Music and musicians needs people around to thrive.

@Davidbr14133727 Thank you for sharing that, David. Losing someone like that changes everything, and carrying it for years is heavy. Being almost 50 doesn’t make the dream less valid, if anything, it shows how much it matters to you. The fact you’re still trying says a lot. Keep going🙌

You never stop being a musician, and sometimes, support stays with you for life.

Over 50 years ago, Lauretta first connected with Help Musicians. We recently spoke with her and Lesley Garrett about their journeys in music and what it means to be backed when it counts.

@Davidbr14133727 Hey David, feeling stuck doesn’t mean your music isn’t worth releasing, or that you should give up.

If selling beats feels like the right move right now, that’s okay, you’re still creating. Take a breather, fix one small thing at a time, and keep going.

Wish you all the best🙌

Jazz saxophonist Harry Keeble almost lost it all during the pandemic. We helped him, and he's since run the Great North Run to help us help more musicians like him.

You can do the same. Sign up for a challenge in 2026 & support musicians across the UK: https://t.co/FKn8LFjsRO

Support for UK Rap is crucial.

That’s why we launched the UK Rap Award: £3,000, mentoring, and peer support to help artists across UK Rap and its sub-genres push their careers forward.

@classicjacko Go Sam!!! Thank you so much for your support, we're rooting for you💛🏃

[Sam Jackson @classicjacko]

New year, new trainers…

I love being a trustee of @HelpMusicians and am so pleased to be doing this (admittedly ridiculous) challenge for them. Any donations are received with a huge amount of gratitude!

@classicjacko @HelpMusicians @classicjacko what a brilliant project! Many years ago, @HelpMusicians supported me when I found myself as carer for a terminally ill partner and was unable to take on concert engagements. They helped me to rebuild my life and return to professional work. Everyone please support!

[Help Musicians @HelpMusicians]
