Caregiving is part of the music industry — but it’s rarely part of the conversation.

A national study by Women in Music Canada and Music Publishers Canada shows just how big that reality is:
• 66% of music workers with caregiving duties spend 20+ hours/week on care
• 50% say it directly impacts their ability to work in music

Behind every stage, tour, and studio session, there are people balancing care work and creative work at the same time.

If we want a stronger music industry in Newfoundland & Labrador and beyond, we have to make space for the full reality of the people in it.

Thank you to Women in Music Canada and Music Publishers Canada for this study.

That’s a wrap on ECMA 2026! What a week that was had in Sydney, Cape Breton. We are proud of celebrate another remarkable year for Newfoundland and Labrador’s music community.

From packed showcase rooms and career-building industry opportunities to unforgettable performances and award recognition, NL artists and industry professionals once again demonstrated the creativity, talent, and momentum driving the province’s music sector forward on both regional and national stages.

Behind the scenes, MusicNL worked throughout the week to connect NL artists with promoters, bookers, and industry decision-makers from across Canada and around the world — laying the groundwork for international bookings, touring opportunities, and career-defining partnerships. The eight award wins represent what has been a landmark week of export development for the province’s music industry, with the relationships built here expected to translate into real opportunities for Newfoundland and Labrador artists on stages far beyond our shores.
