This week on OffKey, we're looking at a key part of Canada's music industry: funding. In Canada, there are numerous grants offered by public and private organizations that artists can apply to for funding costs associated with recording, promotion, and touring. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jimmy Leitch from Music BC, Steve Love from Music PEI, and Karina Moldovan from FACTOR to learn more about the initiatives and funding programs they offer. We discussed provincial grants for live showcases and tours, FACTOR programs for artist development and recording costs, and the importance of Canada's funding system to the country's music industry. I hope this episode is helpful to any artists looking for support for their projects!
