> Who Socan Works With > Music Talent > Producers

If you wrote or co-wrote a percentage of a musical work that’s been recorded, performed or published, you should join SOCAN to receive the money that you’ve earned. If your songs are played by almost any business, almost anywhere in the world – whether live, on radio, online, on TV, in movies, etc. – SOCAN collects the money that’s owed for your share of those performances. When it comes to getting paid for performances of songs to which you’ve contributed, it’s our business to take care of you. We’ve got your back.

ISRC Code: International Standard Recording Code. This is an international identification system for sound recordings and music videos. Each ISRC is a unique and permanent identifier for a specific recording that can be permanently encoded into a product as its digital “fingerprint”. Encoded ISRCs provide the basic means to automate the identification of recordings.

Dead Obies

As Chairmen of Québec’s rap scene, the six members of Dead Obies are the incarnation of a bold, up-and-coming generation. They broke out in 2013 with Montréal $ud and followed up with 2016's Gesamtkunstwerk, a critical and popular juggernaut that mixed French and English. With little industry support, the SOCAN members topped of the sales charts in Québec, and reached the Top Five in Canada. Dead Obies have a very strong online presence, and totally embrace streaming platforms. They finished as Top Three finalists at the Francouvertes de Montréal in 2013, and have taken part in Francofolies de Montréal, “WordUP! Battles” and “Artbeat” events in Québec. They also won the Urban Music Award at the SOCAN Montréal Gala in 2017.
