The Music industry in Australia and Canada: global and local perspectives

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

    Abstract

    This chapter compares Australian music managers' operations to those of their counterparts in Canada. Once the global context of the music industry has been established, and Canada and Australia's part in this industry has been highlighted, this chapter will locate the discourse of a select number of Australian and Canadian music managers within this global context. The degree to which Australian and Canadian music managers and artists have access to key music territories such as the US and the UK will form a particular focus. Particular attention will be paid to the opinions and perspectives of industry practitioners who are located in the US and the UK, practitioners who are looking out at Australian and Canadian attempts to break in. My analyses initially begin by engaging with interview data concerning the perspective of managers who operate at a micro/indie/local level and then it to an outline of the perspective of practitioners who operate at macro/national and/or international levels through their dealings with major labels.
