Big Narstie: Momentum
Activity: The Momentum Fund is providing support for marketing, press, publicity, mastering and videos for Big Narstie‘s first proper solo album release and supporting tracks, which is due for release in the first half of 2016.
“It is great that the Momentum Fund chose to support my work as an independent artist. Their help will mean I can push forward and make the album I want to make and then be able to bring it to my fans as a statement of who I am and what I stand for. That is something which is very important to me so thank you Momentum Fund! #BDL! #Base!”
