“As an active investor in many areas of the arts around Australia I see our culture as unique and strong, so I would like us to be immersed, totally surrounded and celebrating our cultural roots and visions as much as possible. The Seed is an invaluable asset for the fusion of investment with remote and emerging artists around Australia. It’s important that new voices get into the music industry rather than be overwhelmed by it’s power, and I see The Seed as a very real tool to make this happen”
"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.

“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”
