Opportunity Development Grant 2018 recipients:

"BIGSOUND connected us with a number of industry people in areas we are looking to grow, which not only is very pragmatic but beneficial in navigating your way through the diverse nature of the industry. We also got to meet and invite various music directors to our showcase and bridge that gap between the digital and the real, which eventuated into our latest single gaining rotation on national and local radio programs, as well as a number of media opportunities."

-Curtis Argent (Pirra)

Now in its seventeenth year, BIGSOUND is Australia’s leading contemporary music industry event, attracting national and international professionals to discover the future of Australian music. This year the event was held across 4 – 7 September at Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley, and is a significant event for NSW artists and managers to develop industry connections and create new opportunities through conference sessions, workshops, guest speakers and live performances.

The MusicNSW Opportunity Development Grants Program is funded by the NSW Government through Create NSW.
