"The music industry has faced special challenges since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Although streaming is booming, the many smaller music labels in Hamburg have been severely affected by the restrictions on cultural life," said Dr Carsten Brosda, Senator for Culture and Media. The funding for such companies will strengthen existing structures in Hamburg and post-pandemic, he added. Music labels can obtain between EUR 3,000 and EUR 10,000 in grants. A committee of experts including industry representatives will decide on the recipients.
