Kate Tempest, Moses Boyd and Laura Groves are among the latest acts to be funded by the Momentum Music Fund.
PRS for Music Foundation together with Arts Council England and Spotify announced the latest round of recipients with 19 artists receiving backing.
Other artists include Mount Kimbie, Splurgeboys and solo songwriter and drummer Georgia.
Vanessa Reed, PRS for Music Foundation chief executive, said: ‘We're excited to have been able to support 19 exceptional artists in this latest round, highlighting the brilliant mix of talent across England at the moment, from Birmingham's Scorpz, West Yorkshire's Laura Groves through to Brighton's Yonaka, and artists who are already receiving industry recognition such as Mercury nominated Kate Tempest and Guardian's Ones to Watch 2015 Georgia.
‘I look forward to seeing the impact Momentum support will have on each of these artists’ careers over the coming months.’
