CIRPA is the collective voice of the English language, Canadian-owned independent sector of the Canadian sound recording industry.

Our mandate is to secure and develop a strong and economically stable domestic music industry.

CIRPA has more than 160 member companies from coast to coast in Canada, involved in every aspect of the music business.

We believe that marketing efforts have become as important as product development.

And that Canadian independent music should be nurtured and strengthened both domestically and internationally.

With a small dedicated staff, a committed Board of independent music entrepreneurs, and not a lot of money – CIRPA continues to be an important and respected voice in the Canadian music business.
Canadian music companies are selling more to foreign markets. CIRPA works with our funding partners to lead initiatives that create stronger export sales for independent Canadian music producers.
CIRPA continues to create and sustain opportunities for our members in an ever-changing marketplace. We do this by developing music marketing opportunities, fighting for legal rights and assurance of revenues, and by working with other industry associations.
