ABOUT US

The Canadian Music Management Collective (CMMC) was established in the spring of 2025 by a group of musicians who recognized a critical need within the industry. We know firsthand that valuable time and energy are often diverted from creative pursuits to managing the business side of a music career. For artists who are already handling multiple roles—from performer to social media manager to bookkeeper—the administrative burden is overwhelming, and the path to a sustainable career feels out of reach.

As a non-profit built by artists, for artists, our mission is to change that. We focus on providing practical, hands-on support that addresses the real, day-to-day operational needs of musicians.

Our services, including booking management, marketing and promotion, financial management, and grant application assistance, are designed to alleviate these non-creative tasks. By offering collaborative, focused support, we help artists reclaim their time, enhance their professional opportunities, and cultivate a supportive community where they can thrive and focus on their craft. We are committed to providing this support with a focus on equity and access, ensuring all emerging musicians have the opportunity to succeed.

MISSION

The CMMC is dedicated to empowering emerging and mid-career Canadian musicians by providing accessible and practical administrative and operational support. We strive to alleviate the burden of non-creative tasks, enabling artists to focus on their development and build sustainable careers within a thriving and resourceful music community.

VISION

To cultivate a vibrant and sustainable Canadian music ecosystem where emerging musicians are empowered to fully realize their artistic potential, contributing to a thriving rich and diverse Canadian cultural landscape.
