"The PopBoard NRW represents pop music in Germany’s most populous federal state and was founded as such out of the active scene itself. It covers the entire music landscape – from freelance musicians to socio-cultural centres and clubs, to labels, publishers and distributors. It is the point of contact for politics and administrations, advocates for greater appreciation and equality for pop music, and offers support and suggested solutions to everyone active in pop music in North Rhine-Westphalia.”
