2024 Canadian Song Conference

The Canadian Songwriter Challenge is entering its 10th year in 2024. The goal of Music PEI’s version is to bring artists together from across Canada to co-write with PEI artists. Each year other provincial music industry associations partner with Music PEI to create teams of songwriters, each pair is assisted by a producer, where they record two demos in a PEI studio.

The pairs of artists are tasked with writing and recording 2 songs each with their producer. In 2024 the co-writing process will begin online and continue in-person at the recording studio in PEI. Once the songs are completed, they are presented to the delegates in Listening Sessions during the conference. Songs produced through this program have been used by the delegates with some being used or re-recorded for the artists own albums.

Thanks to the music industry associations and partners who collaborated with us in 2024 for the Canadian Songwriter Challenge: Music/Musique NB, Music Nova Scotia, Music Ontario, and Manitoba Music.
