David Abeji : Early Career Promoter Fund
Scale KOMA’s underground music residency via professional mentoring and fund a paid visual artist program, elevating Manchester’s experimental club scene.
KOMA is an international music team and label operating out of Manchester and Tokyo. Moving away from the standard promoter blueprint, KOMA acts as a bridge for the underground, connecting lovers of experimental niches in the UK and Japan. Whether it’s through their label releases, the KOMAoto guest mix series, or sold-out nights at venues like The White Hotel, the team is all about building a genuine global community. KOMA isn’t just about putting on a show; it’s about the lore, creating a shared history of the current music landscape and proving that music can connect worldwide.
With the support of the PRS Early Career Promoter Fund, KOMA is #SteppingUp its game with a new series of live showcases across England. This funding is being used to level up the production and reach of their UK events, working more closely with the next generation of grassroots artists and collaborating on events influenced by people like you.
