Private Copying Royalties in Canada

Private Copying Royalties in Canada

This week, we're looking at an important topic in the world of royalties: private copying. This topic is very important for music creators to be aware of, as Canada only has private copying levies on outdated technology and has not kept up with new developments in technology. Lisa Freeman from the Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) offered her insights and explained what private copying is, what the CPCC does, and why Canada's Copyright Act needs to be updated to keep up with technological innovation. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did!

How Artists Are Adapting During COVID-19

How Artists Are Adapting During COVID-19

This week, we’re tackling a pressing topic at a time like this: how artists are adjusting in the context of COVID-19. For musicians, artists, tour teams, and other team members, the economic disruption caused by COVID-19 has led to cancellations and postponements of virtually all gigs, tours, and festivals for at least the next couple months.  This has resulted in a major upheaval in both music creators’ ability to earn a living and the music industry at large. Without in-person live shows, artists are now facing a new trajectory for how to engage with their audiences, and many are turning to one particular online tool: livestreaming. I had the pleasure of speaking with Juno-award winning artist Dan Mangan and emerging artist Kubla about how their adapting and utilizing livestreaming as artists. I hope you enjoy our conversations as much as I did! Wishing everyone health and safety at this difficult time.

The Songwriter's Royalty Collections

The Songwriter's Royalty Collections

This week on OffKey, we're turning to a big topic for any songwriter looking to build and sustain a career in music: royalty collections. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike McCarty and Holly Fagan-Lacoste from SOCAN and Rebecca Webster from CMRRA to learn about how the songwriter gets paid when their songs are played. We discussed how royalty rates are determined, how usage data is collected, and why these organizations are so important to songwriters. I hope you enjoy our conversations and that this episode is helpful to any music creators out there looking to make money from their music!

Music Funding in Canada

Music Funding in Canada

This week on OffKey, we're looking at a key part of Canada's music industry: funding. In Canada, there are numerous grants offered by public and private organizations that artists can apply to for funding costs associated with recording, promotion, and touring. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jimmy Leitch from Music BC, Steve Love from Music PEI, and Karina Moldovan from FACTOR to learn more about the initiatives and funding programs they offer. We discussed provincial grants for live showcases and tours, FACTOR programs for artist development and recording costs, and the importance of Canada's funding system to the country's music industry. I hope this episode is helpful to any artists looking for support for their projects!

Music Therapy

Music Therapy

For our first episode of 2020, we’re looking at a very special field in the world of music: music therapy. This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erica Tetzel and Taryn Stephenson from Music Heals, a non-profit based in Vancouver that raises awareness and supports music therapy programs across Canada with the goal of increasing access to music therapy services. I also spoke with Ruth Eckhoff, a music therapist in Norway with decades of experience as a practitioner and educator in the field. We discussed what music therapy is, why it's so important, how it has evolved, and how to get involved. I hope you enjoy our conversations as much as I did!

Mateo Palmisano (Xitmuse) on building a small business in a competitive music industry

Mateo Palmisano (Xitmuse) on building a small business in a competitive music industry

This week, we're featuring an interview with Mateo Palmisano, a writer, recording and mixing engineer, producer, composer and music production educator who has over a decade of experience working on both the recording side and composition side of music across North America and beyond. Mateo’s commitment to creating accessible educational content aligns so well with the goal of OffKey, so I decided it would be fitting to feature his interview in its own episode. We talked about record deals, composing for other artists, accessible technological tools, and how to build oneself up as a small business in a highly competitive music industry. 

For listeners in Toronto, Mateo will be leading a 6-part workshop series at the Richview Toronto Public Library starting on November 12th, 2019. You'll learn how to use a Digital Audio Workstation as well as how to produce, record, mix and master your own music, and distribute and market your record. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/production-starter-guide-1-the-production-tickets-76087946095

The Sunset Kids on chance encounters and creating immersive audiovisual experiences

We have reached the second season finale of OffKey! While it’s bitter-sweet to see this season come to an end as it also means the end of my time at Membran Labs, I am so excited to announce that I will be passing the project off to my best friend, the ever so talented Taliya Seidman-Wright! Make sure you subscribe to OffKey on your favourite listening platform where I’ll be back on the podcast one last time to pass the mic over to Taliya to chat about her plans for OffKey Season 3!

Shawnee on music as medicine

Shawnee on music as medicine

For today’s episode of OffKey I spoke to Two Spirit singer-songwriter Shawnee Talbot! In high school Shawnee found music to be the medicine she needed to get her through a difficult time, and today uses it to give back and create that same medicine for others. We talked about the themes that inspire her work and her decision to leave behind a record label and management to pursue her career as an independent artist. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.

Looking Back at OffKey's First Season

Looking Back at OffKey's First Season

While OffKey's second season doesn't start until May 27th, I thought I would piece together a little look back at the first season of our podcast. It's been such a pleasure learning more about the music industry from some of its Canadian members, so I hope you enjoy this episode featuring some of my favourite moments this season. Additionally, hopefully this inspires you to go back and listen through any of the episodes that you haven't heard already  - I learned so much from each and every one of our guests and it makes me so happy that I got to share my learnings with all of you! A huge thank you to all of our guests and we'll be back next week with the premiere of our second season featuring Kresnt and Kane Dabir.

Jocelyn Greenwood (Cordova Bay Entertainment Group and Jets Overhead) on working for a record label as a musician

This week I sat down with Jocelyn Greenwood, the President of Cordova Bay Entertainment Group, a record label located in Victoria, BC. Jocelyn is also one of the founding members, and bassist of, alternative-rock band Jets Overhead. Jocelyn stopped by on a snowy day to talk about her experience working in the music industry, the role of record labels in the industry, and how her background as a musician has influenced her approach to the music industry.

Quinn Bates (Quarterback) on taking risks and staying authentic in music and branding

Quinn Bates (Quarterback) on taking risks and staying authentic in music and branding

This week on the OffKey Podcast, Linh Sa chats with R&B artist Quinn Bates (Quarterback). Originally from Kelowna BC, Quinn moved to Victoria to pursue classical music, and studied Opera at the Royal Conservatory of Music. Since making the move to the island Quinn has transitioned from classical music to R&B and walks us through what it was like to take the leap from the structure of school to the uncertainty of pursuing a career as a solo artist. Quinn also tells us about what he has in store for this year, and the importance of branding and authenticity.
