Sing For Italy Workshop
“Are You Export Ready?”
CHIA/SFI European Music Export Workshop — Preparing Canadian Artists for the European Music Marketplace
Seven modules. One international roadmap. Music business, markets, rights, touring, branding, Italy, and growth — delivered by Celebrating Heritage In the Arts, Inc. (C.H.I.A.) and Sing For Italy, with guest industry professionals sharing their experience first-hand. Participation was by invitation only.
What you’re building is much bigger than simply opening doors for people — you’re becoming a true beacon of hope and opportunity for so many young Canadian creatives. The fact that people are taking the time to share such heartfelt responses with you speaks volumes about the impact you’re having on their lives. Your consistency, generosity, and unwavering commitment to Canada’s creative community are truly impressive. You’re not just helping people — you’re actually inspiring them to believe in themselves and in what’s possible. That kind of impact is lasting.

All the speakers were wonderful and the same goes for the attendees — an absolute reflection of who you are and who you surround yourself with. We both found it very fruitful, and connecting with these industry people was insightful, transformative and motivating to say the least.

In Their Own Words
From the participant reflection surveys
What international opportunity now feels possible?
Performing in Spain seems to be more attainable than I initially thought. I learned that as I grow in Canada, I should be thinking internationally at the same time since music has become such a global market. This was such an informative workshop and covered so many different topics! I’m feeling even more equipped now to move forward in my career.
What international opportunity now feels possible?
International opportunities like festivals, performances, and collaborations now feel more possible because I understand there are ways to actively create opportunities in the European market. I used to think I needed an established audience there first, but I now see that these opportunities can also be a way to build that audience.
What surprised you most during the program?
The amount of insight and truth telling about the music industry. Lots of actionable items to progress my career.
What international opportunity now feels possible?
I believe I would be much better prepared to visit Italy / Europe with a game plan now — before, I did not.
What surprised you most during the program?
How down to earth these industry experts are and their willingness and dedication to share their experience.
What will you do differently after completing this program?
Aside from having more confidence to pursue my goals, I now have connections to business people that I will use.
What international opportunity now feels possible?
Connecting with people in the industry from Italy has helped very much.
What will you do differently after completing this program?
I want to truly be the CEO of my artist company, so my immediate next step is making sure I stay on top of everything I learned in the workshop in terms of income streams and business strategies.
