Music Canada and CONNECT Music Licensing launch National Artist Entrepreneur Survey

Music Canada and CONNECT Music Licensing launch National Artist Entrepreneur Survey

By External Source

Music Canada and CONNECT Music Licensing invite artists to share their insights and experiences in a new national survey that focuses on artists’ business needs in an ever-changing music economy.


The two Canadian music organizations have partnered to conduct research in response to changing trends in the music ecosystem in which artists increasingly operate as business owners, often referred to as “artist-preneurs.” The project kicked off earlier this spring with an environmental scan conducted through a series of focus groups with artists and industry leaders.

Survey findings will be used to guide the design and delivery of a pilot artist entrepreneur program later this year.

J. Cole Shouts Out The Scarborough Shooting Stars Basketball Team at Scotiabank Arena: Toronto Concert Recap

The North Carolina rapper came to Toronto for the first of two dates on his The Fall-Off Tour, where he went bar for bar with diehard fans, remembered his uneventful local basketball career and welcomed a surprise opening performance from Toronto's Casper TNG and 100BandPlan

J. Cole came to Toronto for the first of two dates at Scotiabank Arena on July 27. It's part of his sprawling The Fall-Off Tour, which has been rumoured to be his last major global tour – at least in this current iteration.

There was some anticipation about what Cole might do at this Toronto stop. He was a close witness to rap's highest profile recent rivalry after his song "First Person Shooter" with Drake accidentally prompted Kendrick Lamar to ignite the beef with his "fuck the big three" line. He briefly participated and then publicly bowed out, mostly disengaging from the whole affair save for a few defenses of the Toronto rapper.
