47Without artists, performers, and creators, there isn’t much of a music industry worth talking about.
48
49Our 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.
50
51From 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.

In addition to being your own boss, since you’re getting money from a variety of sources, (such as merch sales, gig tickets, royalties, and so on) being a full-time musician almost always means that your income is going to be classified as self-employment income. The million-dollar question is: how can you manage your money when you’re an artist and largely rely on the gig economy?\r\n\r\nEffective financial management can make or break an artist’s career, as it ensures that their earnings are maximized, expenses are controlled, and long-term financial goals are achieved. This comprehensive session will delve into the key principles and strategies of financial management specifically tailored for musicians.\r\n\r\nTAKEAWAYS\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eBrief and broad understanding of income streams, tax planning and compliance.
