Awards Won By Radio Starmaker Funded Artists

Success Fact: Eric Ethridge

Eric Ethridge

The Covid-19 pandemic was undoubtedly a very difficult time for professionals throughout the music industry. With 60 national tour dates cancelled, it was Radio Starmaker’s funding that was the imperative in allowing me to continue to focus on my craft, writing my next album, while simultaneously marketing my previous record Good With Me.

As shows moved to a more virtual basis, Radio Starmaker’s support provided me the means to reinvest in my performances and acquire the audio and visual recording equipment to get high quality recordings and broadcasts of live streams.

Not only has this given me the opportunity to provide entertainment for those in long-term care facilities this funding kept my family and I going in a tough time, and for that I am sincerely grateful.
