Good Intent – Return With Expanded Artist Support Program ‘Greater Good’

After the inaugural launch of ‘Greater Good’ in 2021, Good Intent are back at it again with their independent artist initiative. The program gives back to the independent artist community, by providing in kind services and a cash grant totalling $20,000 AUD (double their first year pool).

‘Greater Good’ is a program designed to provide a launchpad for exceptional emerging artists, by utilising Good Intent’s Artist Services’ pro-bono, a cash grant of $4,000 AUD to help further develop their career, plus a stack of goodness from their new partners Studios 301, Billy Zammit, Make Merchandise, PLAKKIT and Ben Mitchell.

“Last year we were blown away by hundreds of applicants from across the country. The team and I discovered so many amazing new acts and had some great conversations helping guide some incredible talent. We were chatting to some mates with similar values in giving back to the community, and decided to bring it all together this year for something that’ll really be a kick-start to an emerging artist’s career,” says Artist and Label Services Manager Rick Bridgman.

The Artist Services’ contribution will cover Artist Management Consultation, PR, Radio Plugging, DSP  and Playlist Pitching, Digital Marketing and Label Services. Through their sister company Good Loco, the offering will also boast hire and a photoshoot with acclaimed creative Billy Zammit (DMA’s, Triple One, Ninajirachi, Young Franco).

Further new additions feature a package from Sydney-based recording powerhouse Studios 301 including Dry Hire of Studio 2, Mix & Dolby Atmos Music Mix from Stefan Du Randt and Mastering from Steve Smart (Flume, King Stingray, DZ Deathrays). The team at Make Merchandise have offered up a fresh batch of AS Colour Staple Tees and printing to fire up the act’s merch game, and PLAKKIT are on board providing a capital city run of posters and distro to get the word out about the artist’s music and touring efforts. Creative assets will be provided by independent Graphic Designer / Illustrator and long-time collaborator Ben Mitchell (Bootleg Rascal, Critical Slide).

“The prodigious Jelly Oshen was the winner in 2021 and we loved working with Jelly and his family on his releases. We can’t wait to check out a bunch of new acts in 2022 and pass on the experiences that we’ve learned over the years, from working with some of the best in the business throughout the course of our respective careers.”
