Fat White Family, Anushka and Psychemagik are among the acts PRS for Music Foundation has funded to attend SXSW 2014.
19 artists will be performing at the music industry showcase in Austin, Texas 11-16 March via the foundation’s International Showcase Fund. Their music export programme was previously known as British Music Abroad.
PINS, The Wytches and Teeth of the Sea are also among the artists flying over to Texas courtesy of the fund.
Laura Whitticase, PRS for Music Foundation’s industry and export fund manager, said: ‘PRS for Music Foundation is incredibly proud to be the ‘go to’ funder for the best new talent, and to be supporting these fantastic artists.
‘The panel agreed that they all have great potential to boost their career trajectories and secure new international deals following their showcase appearances, repeating the successful outcomes of artists we've funded previously for SXSW.’
The Wytches said: ’Funding from the PRS for Music Foundation's International Showcase Fund has given us such an incredible opportunity to travel to Austin, Texas to perform at SXSW in 2014. The trip wouldn't have been possible without the grant.’
Since 2006, 82 percent of the 355 artists supported by the scheme reported that they secured new deals or bookings as a direct result of their funding.
The fund’s alumni include Mercury Music Prize nominees Eliza Carthy, Sway, Everything Everything, Sam Lee, Django Django and Bat for Lashes.
UKTI, Arts Council England, British Underground and the Musicians’ Union are among the partners of the initiative.
