Understanding Music Licensing
Entandem simplifies licensing for Canadian businesses that use recorded and/or live music to make their business better.
Licenses allow legal, ethical, and responsible public use of music for customers. Copyright Act grants songwriters, composers, record companies, publishers, and artists the right to compensation for their music, which your license covers.
These rightsholders earn royalties to make a living from their valuable work – the music that your business uses to benefit your customers and improve your bottom line.
Not only does music add great value to businesses like yours, an Entandem music license ensures music makers can keep on making great music.

How does having a music license benefit my business?
Music is a powerful tool that can enhance your business, event, or organization in many ways. It has the power to evoke emotions, set a mood, and create an ambiance that your customers, guests, and patrons will value and return for. Studies even show that playing music can improve customer experiences and increase sales. By obtaining the necessary music licenses through Entandem, not only will you be legally compliant with copyright law, but you can also play all the music you want; while making sure those who created it are compensated for their work – the music that makes your business better.
