SOCAN is a rights management organization that links more than four million songwriters, composers and music publishers worldwide. We do this by administering licenses for the public performance and reproduction of their work.

More than 250 employees work with SOCAN. We are a team dedicated to supporting the national and global music ecosystem through our creativity, innovation, commitment, and passion in an ever-changing music and business landscape. We support SOCAN members from offices in Toronto, Vancouver, Montréal, Nashville and Los Angeles. We love music and believe that the songwriters, composers and music publishers provide an essential and priceless aspect of national pride and culture. This belief permeates our work and heavily influences a workplace culture of which we are immensely proud. As we blaze trails during one of the fastest-changing times in our industry, we continue to revolutionize and modernize music monetization through state-of-the-art, innovative technology.
