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

Luk Zimmermann

«Unlike SUISA, which is primarily focused on the composers of a song, SWISSPERFORM ensures that people who contribute to the recording of a song in the studio but did not compose it are also entitled to a share in its success.»Luk Zimmermann

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

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

Anna Pieri Zuercher

«SWISSPERFORM manages my rights and remuneration with great expertise. We are fortunate to have such a competent and professional organization at our service. And it's a pleasure to work with this fantastic team.»Anna Pieri Zuercher

Manrico Padovani

«SWISSPERFORM means to me: high professional competence, reliability and cordiality towards the artists.»Manrico Padovani

Sarah Andrina Schütz

«As a professional actress and speaker, I am an (active) member of various professional and relevant organizations. Fair remuneration and transparent tariffs are important to me and my professional colleagues. As an entrepreneur, I negotiate my conditions and fees myself - the various tariff lists serve as a reference. This is very helpful and makes it easier to negotiate. Networking makes us strong!»Sarah Andrina Schütz
