About
Musik­sverige

Musiksverige is an association tasked with communicating and highlighting the industry’s key topics for discussion. Our primary aim is to provide commercial Swedish music with the best possible foundation and environment needed to create, develop and thrive internationally through collaboration with other creative industries, government agencies and departments.

  • As of November 2017 and due to the the #metoo campaign and the over 2000 women in the Swedish music industry that signed on against sexual harassment in the music industry, Musiksverige has set course for a new direction. The association shall focus its efforts to work for a more inclusive industry free from antagonistic behaviour, sexual harassment or/ and abuse. This directive will take precedence over all other activities.
