The Recording Academy and MusiCares are launching a coronavirus relief fund for music professionals adversely impacted by the virus, starting with $1M donation from each
for music professionals adversely impacted by the virus, starting with an initial $1 million donation from each. MusiCares is also in the process of securing donations from several major streaming services, record labels and other music companies, plus a number of high-profile artists, according to a representative.
Similarly, three days after Hurricane Katrina ravaged the gulf region in 2005, MusiCares and the academy dedicated $1 million to help victims of the storm. After a five-year effort, MusiCares ended up distributing more than $4.5 million to more than 4,500 music professionals -- helping with everything from medical expenses and relocation costs to instrument repair.
"My first thought was, ‘this is going to get out of control. The need is going to overwhelm us and our ability to help our music community,''' Mason Jr. admits. But he and the academy quickly snapped into action:"We’re going to have to do something extraordinary to be able to keep up with that." He emphasizes that MusiCares will allocate funds based on need, with a preference for"people that really need help -- that live paycheck to paycheck," he says."These are not the artists that are going on worldwide tours on jets."
