ABOUT

Our mission

Protect, promote and preserve

the rights of performing artists

Founded by l’Union des Artistes (UDA) in 1997, ARTISTI is a Canadian licensing body. Since its creation, ARTISTI has been managing collectively the equitable remuneration right and the remuneration right from the private copying levy.

Since 2008, ARTISTI has been providing its members with the option to have it manage their exclusive reproduction rights for certain reproductions of their performances (commercial radio and MEES) and, since 2015, to have it manage their complete set of exclusive rights.

ARTISTI’s Board of Directors is made up of eleven performers, including backup singers and musicians.

Important dates

Performers' rights are fairly recent in copyright history.

A word from the Chairperson

"A more just world, in which our rights are respected and our voices heard; this is what makes my heart beat and pushes me to continue for the artist, the performer, the musician. Life without the artist and his music is simply nonsense. So let's play, let's play harder!"
France D'Amour
France D'AmourActual President
"If I had one wish to make, it would be that all the collecting societies around the world stand together and put pressure to ensure that the future of performers is no longer threatened."
Florence K
Florence K President from 2016 to 2018
"I consider that the sums paid by the management societies are the last free entrenchments where artists can receive a direct payment which is not subject to any levy, and, in my opinion, these sums should go back entirely to them."
Richard Petit
Richard PetitPresident from 2014 to 2016
"Like other societies in Europe, Artisti believes that a transitional solution involving ISPs and allowing right holders in the music industry to receive partial compensation should be seriously considered."
