Daniel Lafrance

I founded my first publishing company in 1976. After being a musician, producer, and manager, I devoted myself full-time to publishing starting in 1990. I have served on numerous boards of directors since 1984: those of ADISQ, SODRAC, APEM, MUSICACTION, CINARS, CMRRA, CANADIAN SONGWRITERS HALL OF FAME. I won the Félix for Publisher of the Year nine times, the SOCAN Award for Publisher of the Year twice, as well as APEM’s Christopher J. Reed Award. I currently represent publishers on SODEC’s Commission du disque et des variétés and I sit on MPC’s board. I also wrote two books on music publishing: L’édition musicale, de la partition à la musique virtuelle and Après la disruption : innover en édition musicale, released in December 2020.
