The FCMA (Fondation romande pour la Chanson et les Musiques Actuelles) was set up in 1997 out of a desire to provide support for artists in the broad and varied field of "contemporary music". The FCMA team is committed to helping artists develop their careers on a daily basis, through support programmes, advice, training and networking with music professionals in Switzerland and in key export markets. The Foundation is also delighted to be able to support the transformation currently taking place in this sector.
