Raising the Volume of underrepresented Voices
Keychange is a movement that counts the discounted. We take action to empower talented underrepresented genders with training, mentoring, and network support plus conferences and showcasing opportunities at partner festivals.
Join us and represent the underrepresented!
What does it mean to represent the underrepresented?
As talent, festivals, orchestras, broadcasters, music agencies, we share the belief in and passion for music.
To represent the underrepresented means to take a stand so we don’t miss out on unique talent and artful expressions.
You can represent by pledging with us to work towards balance, inclusion and for a future where all voices are heard.
Talent Leadership Programme
We are proud to announce 42 brand new participants of the Talent Leadership Programme who have been meticulously selected from 25 countries spanning Creative Europe, UK and Canada.
The Talent Leadership Programme (TLP) is a Creative Europe-funded training programme, facilitated by Artist in Bloom to support underrepresented talents to lead collective actions and create a better, more inclusive music industry for present and future generations.
International Perspectives
Keychange spotlights diverse voices across the globe, featuring individuals, artists, collectives and initiatives to explore how the music world sits within their contexts
An urgent situation calls for urgent action
Our present situation demands urgent action, we’re losing talent every day. Talent is distributed evenly, opportunities are not.
We must go beyond the talk of representation. We must break down the barriers that are silencing talent.
To achieve better gender balance and inclusivity for women and gender-diverse individuals on stage and behind the scenes, we need to work together to represent.
We’ve made progress
See the change multiply! We devised a bold and sustainable action plan to bring women and gender-diverse talent to the stage. 700+ music organisations have already pledged to achieve gender balance.
With ever-increasing numbers, our progress towards equality is revolutionising the music industry, as new talent takes the stage.
