Bio
Kerstin Mayer has been spending a lot of time at concerts since she was seventeen. For more than a decade, she was also active behind the scenes. She then worked in various media companies before getting to know and love the subject of cultural promotion. She spent several years as a project manager at the Initiative Musik and then took over the management of the financial administration of the Amadeus Antonio Foundation, which supports initiatives against group-related misanthropy.
In 2020, Kerstin set up her own business and has since been advising musicians on applying for and implementing funding projects, giving workshops and seminars and taking on project management tasks. In addition, last year she set up an advice centre for PRO MUSIK, the Federal Association for Independent Musicians, and is currently employed by the Federal Foundation for Live Culture, where she is designing a reference book for the organization of live cultural events
Kerstin is a volunteer on the board of the Federal Association of Popular Music (BV Pop) and on the board of trustees of the Berlin Music Commission. She is also involved in Second Bandshirt - an association that sells donated band merchandise and passes the proceeds on to charitable causes. As her latest prank, she has founded a LGBTQIA+ community choir.
