“Every time somebody brings up the tour to me, I turn into this excitable little five-year-old,” she said.
“Before I got into the industry, I was playing in pubs, open mics, anything I could get my foot in the door.
“I think that an incredible thing with these venues is it creates this very open, very real, very personal experience.
“It just creates this real deep personal connection and that’s something I absolutely crave with my fans.”
The Liveline Fund is supported by the Grassroots Levy, a system where major touring acts can make contributions from their arena and stadium ticket sales.
MVT said the initiative was designed to plug the financial gaps that can make touring difficult for new performers.
Money from the fund is used to cover hire costs, touring expenses and to ensure artists are paid fairly.
