As she celebrates SOCAN’s centennial, Jennifer Brown also helped the organization reach a different kind of milestone. The music rights organization hit a record-high half-billion dollars in total royalty distributions to artists and rights-holders in 2024. SOCAN, which currently has nearly 200,000 songwriter, composer, and music publisher members, distributed $512.4 million in royalties and grew revenue to $559.4 million, a 7% increase over 2023. Under Brown’s leadership, SOCAN has worked to enhance licensing strategies and improve transparency with royalty distributions, as well as introduce educational resources and tools for members. "Whether through more transparent royalty distributions, enhanced member services or increased advocacy on their behalf, we’ve worked hard to ensure our songwriter, composer and music publisher members feel seen, supported and valued," says Brown. The organization has become a key advocate for rights-holders in Canada, raising awareness in its 2024 Annual Report about the importance of consuming Canadian-made music. It also launched two new awards in partnership with Billboard Canada: one in 2024 honouring non-performing songwriters, and another in 2025 celebrating screen composers. Both are celebrated at Billboard Canada Power Players, advocating for unsung members of the industry among its most powerful people.
