OTTAWA – Astral Media and the Songwriters Association of Canada have partnered on new web portal for songwriters and composers, designed to replace the traditional practice of mailing CD demos.
The portal will allow songwriters to share their compositions and offer their creations for sale to music buyers for television, film and other media. They may also upload their music and lyrics to receive free detailed feedback from one of several highly-experienced songwriters such as Eddie Schwartz, Jim Vallance, Greg Johnston and Marc Jordan, known for their songs performed by artists such as Pat Benatar, Diana Ross, Hilary Duff, Backstreet Boys, Aerosmith, Bryan Adams and Olivia Newton John.
“The launch of this new portal is in keeping with Astral Media’s creative and innovative spirit. Thanks to our work over the past few years with the Songwriters Association of Canada, we can have an immediate and significant impact on the careers of thousands of songwriters, aspiring and emerging artists and music program students across the country,” said Jacques Parisien, group president of Astral Media Radio and Astral Media Outdoor, in the announcement.
