OutStanding Music to Launch as New National Organization Supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ Music Professionals in Canada​

The organization providing mentorship, advocacy, professional development and visibility will launch on Oct. 1 at BreakOut West 2026 in Victoria, B.C.

OutStanding Music is stepping in as a new voice for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Canadian music.

The new national organization is dedicated to inviting 2SLGBTQIA+ voices into the Canadian music landscape and allow them to thrive within it, and is set to launch on Oct. 1 at the BreakOut West festival and conference in Victoria, B.C. OutStanding is looking to build with queer artists and industry personnel by providing them with mentorship, advocacy, professional development and visibility, fostering relationships and resources. The aim is to build an advocacy organization for 2SLGBTQIA+ music professionals in Canada akin to ADVANCE for Black professionals or The Indigenous Music Office for Indigenous music.
