The PEAK Performance Project is a professional development program to help new and emerging artists create careers in the music industry. The PEAK Performance Project is designed to educate, promote, develop and hopefully launch the careers of some of BC’s up and coming artists. It also hopes to foster the BC music industry and create a sense of community amongst music professionals.
The music industry is going through profound changes which have resulted in artists being required to develop themselves. The decline in development dollars has left many artists in need of substantial funds to launch their careers. The PEAK is investing five million two hundred and ninety thousand ($5,290,000) over seven years or seven hundred and fifty-five thousand dollars ($755,000) per year in the PEAK Performance Project (“PEAK PP”) through CTRC approved Canadian Content Development funds. The program is administered by the Music BC Industry Association.
Unlike other funding programs, the PEAK Performance Project is designed to allow for all selected artists to work their way through a process that will give them the opportunity to show whether they have what it takes to make it in today’s music industry. The artists that show not only the most talent, but also the most creativity in marketing and promotion and show overall growth will be rewarded with greater support from the program.
20 BC based artists will be selected to participate in the PEAK Performance Project. In addition to a rigorous six month artist development program, the PEAK Performance Project will award over $344,500 in direct artist development funding and prizes, making it the biggest individual radio station project in Canada.
