Due to an overwhelming response from artists to become part of the MapleMusic website we are
unable to reply to all submissions. If you send us a package please include a copy of your album and any
pertinent band information (bio, tour history, etc.). We will give it fair and serious consideration.
Can anyone submit a CD to MapleMusic?
Yes, anyone can submit a CD. However, we do have strict criteria for the artists that we bring on the site.
What is that criteria?
MapleMusic is an e-commerce, Canadian music portal. People visit MapleMusic to learn about and
purchase Canadian music. To that end we request that artists submit full-length, recently released CDs,
with a biography. We care about how serious that artist is about their music and ask questions as to whether
or not the band is touring, getting out there and looking to grow. High quality and production values is crucial.
We have limited resources and cannot give you advice on the quality or direction of your music nor can
we help you financially with your marketing. We can give an independent artist a home.
Is there a particular type of music MapleMusic is looking for?
Not really. MapleMusic wants to represent as many genres and regions of Canada as it can.
Currently the site reflects the roster of bands that have been with MapleMusic from the start.
However, now that we've ironed out some of the earlier kinks and perfected our e-commerce capabilities,
we are looking to expand our stable of acts.
If I submit a CD, what happens to it?
MapleMusic has bi-weekly listening sessions. Each session is basically a roundtable of musicians and staffers who listen to the CDs, go through the biographies, do online searches and make decisions according to the aforementioned criteria. MapleMusic is under no obligation to accept your CD and offer it up for sale.
How will I know if I've been accepted or not?
We will be in touch. Please be patient.
If you are interested please forward your CD with your package and appropriate contact information to:

230 Richmond Street West
11th Floor
