CIMA for Musicians

Do you create or perform music for a living? Well, you’re in the right place, because that makes CIMA your professional organization: we help you find that sweet spot to thrive. Without artists, performers, and creators, there isn’t much of a music industry worth talking about. Our musical storytellers are the pulse and lifeblood of Canadian music, often starting out as artist-entrepreneurs who build brands and equity in their communities long before anyone takes a chance on them. From professional tools for personal growth to complementary mental health services, discounts, and more, we help artists make it. That’s on top of accessible education, networking (we make the necessary evil of schmoozing fun!) and showcasing opportunities at home and around the world. We help you understand the biz and the people in it so you can make empowered choices on a stable foundation when it’s time to grow your team.

BDRB Report

2020 provided an unprecedented and eye-opening look at the systemic racism experienced by Black people worldwide. Born of the collective frustration of a lifetime of conversations on the inequitable treatment of Black people in a music industry built on the blood, sweat and tears of Black music practitioners, professionals and creatives, Breaking Down Racial Barriers (BDRB) was initiated as a community roundtable series on anti-Black racism in the Canadian music industry.
