The Screen Composers Guild of Canada has launched musicreator.ca, a website designed to answer the common questions of songwriters, composers, lyricists, and others in the Canadian music ecosystem.
The website includes articles, videos, and interactive resources, grouped under the core topics of Rights & Revenue; Deals & Contracts; Career Management; and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
In an industry that’s constantly changing, especially with the rapid evolution of digital media consumption, musiccreator.ca addresses important questions, including complex copyright issues; who the key players are in the music-revenue ecosystem; how royalties are generated and distributed; and how can creators champion the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The site includes:
- More than 50 easy-to-understand articles, with insights from more than 20 subject-matter experts from across the industry.
- More than a dozen informative videos, including animated explainers that cover key concepts and helpful tips.
- An interactive “Deal Gauge” to inform negotiations, that consolidates global information to suggest a likely compensation range, depending on the project.
- A “From the Trenches” video series featuring composer Darren Fung, which allows visitors to hear directly from successful Canadian music creators as they share invaluable information, anecdotes, and career advice.
