Radio Starmaker Fund Annual Report
2017 / 2018
Board of Directors
Mandate
The mandate of the Radio Starmaker Fund is to make a substantial and discernable difference to the careers of Canadian musical recording artists through artist driven marketing assistance, and to support the Canadian independent music infrastructure.
Created by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission’s Radio Policy Review of 1998, the Radio Starmaker Fund has completed its seventeenth full year of operation.
French language artists are supported by Fonds RadioStar, although Radio Starmaker Fund supports non-French language and instrumental projects originating from Quebec.
For the period from September 1, 2017 to August 31, 2018, the Radio Starmaker Fund Board of Directors was comprised of:
