Biggest International Music Trade Fair Is MIDEM

Hundreds of record companies, booking agents, music publishers, and so forth gather in Cannes, France each January. They gather to do business with one another. A European, Japanese, or Australian record company might be looking for albums from the United States, Australia, or Canada or anywhere outside their nation. Each year, tens of millions of dollars worth of music distribution deals are made and signed, at MIDEM.

Last January, we represented a few American and Canadian recording artists. We made considerable progress in our efforts to lease independent music to major international music distributors and record companies. This year, we have more experience and expect to achieve greater things.

If you'd like us to represent you by pitching your music to these large international companies, please email us at intlcma@aol.com for complete details. We'll need to review your album soon. Don't delay.

If you'd like more information about the MIDEM music trade fair, please visit www.midem.com.
