About
Founded by Reuben White, Rudi Music operates out of Berlin with deep connections to Australia. It exists to champion music that speaks to the present – music that connects, questions and inspires.
Reuben works with artists and organisations to support music that pushes the boundaries and reflects our current reality. Improvisation sits at the heart of this vision. In the words of Charlie Haden, “When you’re in the midst of improvisation, there is no yesterday and no tomorrow — there is just the moment that you are in.”
Rudi Music aims to build a bridge between Germany and Australia — touring German artists through the rich and inspiring landscapes of Australia, and creating sustainable career pathways for Australian musicians within the European music industry, with a focus on its epicentre, Berlin.
