SOCAN reached a record revenue of $578 million and distributed $511.9 million to Canadian rightsholders last year while celebrating its 100th anniversary. As it looks towards its next hundred, the music rights organization has put a focus on strengthening the member experience and creating a community with the industry and member songwriters, composers and publishers. Cameron Kennedy was promoted to chief membership officer in late 2025 to grow programs and initiatives like the SOCAN Academy, the SOCAN Awards, the SOCAN Polaris Song Prize and SOCAN’s song camps. In addition to launching Music Creator Day with Canadian legend Joni Mitchell, the organization also introduced the SOCAN 100 Songwriter Series, Black Music Songwriters’ Circle and Indo-Canadian Song Camp in Mumbai, creating more opportunities for emerging artists while welcoming new diverse voices to its membership. Meanwhile, SOCAN and its CEO Jennifer Brown became a crucial voice against unlicensed AI-generated music, creating a national campaign supported by artists like Sarah McLachlan, Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson, Mac DeMarco and more.
