“We are delighted to support The JB Seed, particularly the Social Activism through the Arts program. When we were struggling young activists we were always grateful for the financial and moral support of others, including many from the music industry such as Midnight Oil. It is such an honor be able to now give back and support young creative spirits with a passion for making the world a better place. Thank you to JB Seed for giving us this opportunity!””

“Being involved in The Seed is one of the most rewarding things I do each year, and I am thrilled to participate as a panelist on the Management workshop and as a financial contributor. It’s great to see funding going directly into the hands of artists and aspiring managers who deserve it, and who are well supported by ‘The Seed’ as they make effective in-roads into the music industry. I look forward to being further inspired by this process”

“There should be more grant programs like The Seed. Our country is bursting with talented, creative minds that aren’t able to express themselves because they don’t have the means to. I’m eternally thankful for my leg-up into the industry, and I’m proud to be supporting a fund that offers the same chance to other artists.”

“I couldn’t get a record deal in 1984 so I borrowed money from a friend to make a record called Post. Not everyone has friends who can afford that but I see the JB seed as the kind of friend that can.” - www.paulkelly.com.au

“It seems like lots of us spend lots of time these days talking about how things should be different. However, few of us consistently DO enough to actually help change things. John and Danielle are among the few who actually back up their words with deeds. The time and energy they devote to the The Seed program sets a great example for all the rest of us who sometimes need some help in shaking off the dreaded compassion fatigue.””

When Danielle and I first started the fund we always intended for it to grow into something that wasn’t just funded by ourselves but contributed to by many movers and shakers within the Australian music community. In the beginning we felt it was necessary for this fund to have credentials and for that my intials served well. But now as we look towards the next five years it’s time to put the next phase of the plan in motion. This is an Initiative funded BY the music community FOR the music community and I feel The Seed best represents our inclusive approach” www.johnbutlertrio.com

“It has been a pleasure working with an artist that has such a strong social conscience as John Butler. The JB Seed has been a fantastic idea in concept and now in actuality. I was very happy to contribute to an ongoing grants program that is going to benefit many artists and projects that might not have got that initial helping hand from traditional funding bodies” www.jarrahrecords.com
