What is a TSF?
At RIOT Noise, we’re on a mission to back emerging talent and help them smash through barriers. That’s why we created TSF (Tour Support Funds), to take the pressure off and let artists focus on what really matters: their craft. We’ve already helped legends-in-the-making like Cassyette, Yonaka, Iyamah, Morgan Harper Jones, and Gateway Girl hit the road, connect with new crowds, and make their mark.
This fund isn’t just money, it’s a game-changer. It’s the support that lets you turn up, thrive, and leave your mark on every stage you hit. Let us handle the essentials so you can bring the noise.
