Welcome to Keychange

About Keychange

Keychange is a movement that represents the under-represented. 

Supported by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union, the Keychange Participant Programme takes action to empower talented underrepresented genders with training, mentoring, and network support plus conferences and showcasing opportunities at partner festivals.

Our global movement is diversifying and reshaping the music industry to create a more sustainable and stronger community for all genders.

As an industry, we lose talent every day and this needs to be urgently addressed.
