Take note U.S.: Canada actually gives its musicians money. | via pauseplaypod
The government in Ottawa has a requirement called Canadian Content, or CanCon, that requires 35% of songs played on commercial radio stations between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. to be by Canadian artists.
"It creates a great environment for working-class artists. You might not become rich doing it … it might not even be a full career. But for a while, you can do it as your job."FACTOR hands out grants for music production, record promotion, music video creation, tour support and live event production. Last year the organization gave away more than $55 million to artists .
Because they’re Canadian citizens, they qualify for grants through FACTOR, though they didn’t get any money the first two times they applied.
