Loco Escrito

«As a musician, your own works are almost like your children, so I’m very glad that SWISSPERFORM takes good care of them and helps protect them.»Loco Escrito

Rajko Jazbec

«SWISSPERFORM plays an important role for us film producers in asserting our neighbouring rights.»Rajko Jazbec

Rachel Braunschweig

«SWISSPERFORM takes on an important social task by protecting the rights of actors and speakers. Having a reliable partner on the complex media market that also operates internationally is an enormous relief and would be impossible to manage on one's own. In addition to this direct economic benefit, I also particularly appreciate SWISSPERFORM's support of individual colleagues for special achievements through the TV awards. I am grateful for the work of SWISSPERFORM.»Rachel Braunschweig

Gaëtan

«SWISSPERFORM is the guarantor of the protection, collection, and distribution of my neighbouring rights. It is the preferred point of contact whenever I have doubts or questions. And it’s often very helpful to be able to count on a big brother who guides us along the sometimes-winding road of music rights. For all these reasons: THANK YOU SWISSPERFORM!»Gaëtan

Ilja Baumeier

«SWISSPERFORM are like the superheroes of my creative universe: they watch over my rights, ensure justice and make me forget about the evil of paperwork. In short, they're the reason I can focus on the drama in front of the camera instead of the drama in my files.»Ilja Baumeier

Marc A. Trauffer

«Years of cooperation build trust. SWISSPERFORM shows how familiar and personal working together is and that as a musician you can always rely on them! That gives you a sense of security!»Marc A. Trauffer
