Canada – music industry market report
A detailed guide on the Canadian Music Industry. Covering everything from live to publishing, press and record labels, gain a better understanding before exporting your music to this extremely international market.
Canada is a domestically strong music market – two in fact: French and English language markets – with viable fanbases for European music. Although of course it is strongly impacted by the US market it is a market where European careers can flourish for the right type of artists if they establish themselves and set up a Canadian fan base.
This report was first created and published in 2019 as an annex to “Music Moves Europe – A European Music Export Strategy” (European Commission) and has been updated as one of the deliverables of the project “Implementing steps to develop and promote European Music Export” (2021–2022). The project was funded by the European Commission.
