Tatjana Rüegsegger

For the past 15 years I have worked across the music industry in multiple roles, from music journalism and photography to booking, tour management and venue productions. These experiences shaped my commitment to knowledge-sharing and equitable access. In 2022 I published the documentary book Brexit Bedrooms, exploring how politics shape artistic freedom. Since 2023 I have led the FINTA Music Exchange, a programme I founded and developed into a recurring platform, connecting Swiss FINTA artists with the UK music industry. Seeing alumni release new work and build international collaborations has been especially rewarding.

I’m very excited to be selected for the Keychange TLP. Joining this network comes at an important moment as I develop the next steps for my work with FINTA Music Exchange and beyond. I look forward to learning and gaining new perspectives on sustainable leadership and international collaboration, and to bringing these insights back into the Swiss music ecosystem. I believe this exchange will help strengthen more equitable and supportive structures in the industry.
