So what exactly is a SOCAN fee? You may have heard of it before. SOCAN is an acronym for the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada, and it refers to the fees collected on behalf of Canadian music creators for the public performance of their work. Why does this matter to a DJ company like Surround Sound DJ? As a DJ in Toronto, it is important to know that the venue where Surround Sound DJ performs pays a fee, and we as DJs contribute toward SOCAN as well.
The Real Costs Behind a DJ
It is important to understand that a DJ has real costs, and the job is not simply about playing music. Beyond the equipment and the music library, there are fees that must be paid, and in some cases there is even an AVLA (Audio Video Licensing Agency) fee, though that depends on the type of music played. Surround Sound DJ strives to be the best DJ in Toronto, and following the guidelines that are in place is one of the ways we achieve that.
