canadian music industry

Live from Canadian Music Week: As independent artists, musicians, and music workers, our "financial wellbeing" can sometimes feel nonexistent, as we are often inundated with financial narratives and experiences rooted in scarcity and struggle. Recorded during Canadian Music Week, this conversation unpacks the systemic issues and subconscious beliefs that negatively impact our relationship to money as creatives. Our conversation is intended to be an exploration of money and finance through a holistic and heart-centred lens, providing our audience with the tools and resources they need to build a healthier and more sustainable financial foundation. Co-hosted by Conscious Economics’ Creative Director, Jacqui Playfair, alongside touring/session bassist and The Unison Fund’s Industry Relations Manager, Anna Ruddick, this episode is hosted in partnership with The Unison Fund, featuring financial therapist Aseel El-Baba, and visionary music makers Dominique Grant and Lucas Silveira.
