The leadership skills of record label veteran Shaver (Virgin, EMI Music Canada, Universal Music Canada, Open Road Records) have boosted the Canadian Musical Reproduction Rights Agency (CMRRA) significantly since he became President in 2019. The org has reported a 129% year-over-year increase in historical/back-claims from Digital Service Providers and a 507% surge in 'International' collections. In June 2022, Shaver launched SX Works, a division of SoundExchange that enables organizations to manage their repertoire across the music ecosystem outside of Canada. In January, COSCAP, a leading Caribbean copyright society, partnered with CMRRA and SX Works to represent their member interests in Canada and the U.S. with the Mechanical Licensing Collective. In December, Shaver told Billboard Canada he forecasted a 10% increase in client distributions to publishers and self-published songwriters for 2023, and noted that “the hard-working teams at CMRRA and SoundExchange successfully transitioned us to an improved royalty processing system for digital collections.”
