EIFEIL
EIFEIL was created in 2011 to represent and allow networking between independent music publishers in France.
It is a key link for professionnalisation, development and perpetuation of our professions, copyright and employments in this industry.
Through its actions, it allows to :
- Federate all the music publishers and independent labels in a transversal way
- Promote their activities among their institutions, copyrights’ collecting and distributing societies, and broadcasters.
- Align and bring global and/or targeted supports and promotion and development tools for its subscribers’ activity.
Each year, it organizes :
- EditA, music publishing exhibition, yearly meeting for debates, workshops and exhibitors.
- CréaMusic Festival in France and Europe
- Music Creation Award for high school students, dedicated to Modern Music
- Several training program’s sessions about copyright and musical publishing, in partnership with the CIFAP.
It also organizes many exhibitions, workshops and debates during important meetings as the « Bis de Nantes », « MaMA Festival », and « Entreprendre dans la culture »…
Nowadays, over 83% of independent music publishers also have a label activity, or at least an occasional one. Moreover, more and more independent labels become music publishers.
