In this moment

Jazz is an open-ended music designed for open minds. It is an art form that lives in the moment, shaped by the consciousness of the improviser. Rudi Music exists to champion the now—to celebrate the fearless pursuit of spontaneous music-making.

We are in a golden age of improvised music, where cultural traditions, personal expression, and social movements converge to create the jazz of tomorrow, today.

Founded by artist manager and producer Reuben White, Rudi Music supports artists, labels, and arts organizations through management, marketing, and as a creative producer.

Now based in Berlin, Reuben and his team work across continents, fostering collaborations between Australia and Germany, and helping musicians navigate an evolving industry while staying true to their artistry.

Rudi Music is about the unexpected, the bold, and the deeply human. It is about listening, responding, and creating—because jazz is, and always will be, alive.
