KEYCHANGE ONE OF SEVEN ORGANISATIONS TO BENEFIT FROM ‘COMMUNITY DRIVE’

The COVID-19 crisis has had a huge effect on the world, putting the livelihoods of many artists, independent venues, and members of our community at risk. To help support musicians and creative institutions facing difficulty at this time, Native Instruments have teamed up with 14 genre-defining artists to create a donation-based charity sound pack.

The pack is free to download, but donations are encouraged from those who are able to give. Native is donating €100,000 to kick things off. Go here to read more and donate.

Christina Schäfers, Project Lead Keychange, Reeperbahn Festival said:

“We are extremely grateful to be one of the seven charities that will benefit from Native Instruments’ COMMUNITY DRIVE. All donations will help us to continue our work to empower talent, make change and progress towards gender balance in the music industry. We know that if we work together we can build a sustainable and resilient industry, and this creative campaign is an encouraging statement of solidarity. Thank you to the generosity of both Native Instruments and the artists involved, including Peaches who is a valued Keychange advocate.”

14 artists across the musical spectrum came together to create the COMMUNITY DRIVE charity sound pack to help musicians in the wake of COVID-19: BT, DJ Dahi, Georgia Anne Muldrow, Just Blaze, Junkie XL, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Kimbra, Laurel Halo, Miquela, Peaches, Philomène Tsoungui, Richard Devine, Sia, and Take a Daytrip’s No Idle crew.

All funds raised will be split between the following organisations: Grammy MusiCares Fund, Black Trans Femmes in the Arts, Musicians Without Borders, Keychange, Kuumba in Motion Expressing Transformation, In Place Of War, Heart N Soul.
