Each year, SOCAN—the organization that represents the performing rights of Canadian songwriters, composers, and music publishers—recognizes the huge contributions of musicians from all across the country at the SOCAN Awards. While 2021’s in-person ceremony was moved online, there's still plenty to celebrate. In that spirit, we’ve compiled these tracks by this year’s SOCAN Awards honourees, whether those artists stand centre stage or play quieter roles behind the boards of some of your favourite tunes.
