CBC Music Invites Choirs to Create Artist Pages

A CBC Music artist page is your online gateway to Canada’s vast and diverse musical community. It is a multifaceted tool for self-promotion so that, no matter what genre you specialize in, you can showcase your valuable contributions to our cultural landscape.

With the creation of a CBC Music artist page, you can:
  • Create an artist profile that includes a bio, photos, links to your website(s) and social media accounts.
  • Upload (unlimited amounts of) your music and videos to be seen and heard by the public. Listeners can create custom playlists with artist-uploaded tracks.
  • Promote your upcoming events on the CBC Music concert calendar. This calendar is searchable by date, location and genre, and is one of the most comprehensive concert listings in Canada.
  • Maintain a personal blog where you can provide up-to-date news about your activities.
  • Gain fans who can “like” your page. You then gain an automatic fan feed that emails your fans whenever you add new music, announce an event, or make any other significant changes to your page.
In addition, CBC Music periodically features various artist pages, so there’s a chance you could receive added exposure.
How do I create a CBC Music artist page?

It’s easy! But you need a CBC Music member profile first. You can create one by clicking the red “JOIN” button on the CBC Music homepage and following the steps. Once you’re finished, you’ll be given the option to create an artist page within your member profile. You can create and host as many artist pages as you’d like on a single member profile. That way, if you are in several groups, or manage a roster of artists, you can manage a separate artist page for each of them.

Last month alone, CBCMusic.ca received over 3 million page views.  Exposure of this magnitude is invaluable for any choir!
