Ingrid Kohtla is the Head of PR & Communications and programme curator of Tallinn Music Week (TMW) and other projects of the Tallinn-based company Shiftworks. Her music-related endeavours include working as Art Director at Tallinn’s influential Von Krahl and as Head of Communications at MTV Estonia. She has directed a long-running weekly music video chart show for public broadcasting channel ETV2 and lectured on subculture & style at the Estonian Academy of Arts.
Ingrid’s most bonkers TMW-moments include curating a meta-showcase titled “Brave new sounds of life-hacking, pirate utopias, relentless roar, digital punk, scripture socialism, shibuya strokes and other post-genre aftershocks a.k.a. CryptoMarket“. She sits on various national award committees and tastemaker panels, pens a record review time after time and introduces future sounds and glocal visions of Estonia to international audiences. Her recent pastimes include restoring trashed sneakers and watching samurai flicks.
Ingrid received the Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music at the Estonian Music Industry Awards 2023.
