The e-commerce site was launched today (www.kt8merch.com/store/pages/socan) with several pieces of merchandise already modelled by some of SOCAN’s more famous members, who were quick to endorse both Unison and SOCAN as organizations that help music creators, publishers and artists.

Music ♥’s Everybody tweaks the imagination by counter-intuitively turning the tables. Just about everyone loves music, and the idea of every genre and type of music unconditionally loving every person strikes a chord.

“I hope my fans and all fans of music get these cool clothes on for a great cause,” said SOCAN member and Montréal resident Ria Mae, whose song “Clothes Off” – co-written with fellow Haligonian and SOCAN member Classified – was a huge hit this year.

“SOCAN is giving us backing off their shirts,” said Sheila Hamilton, Executive Director of Unison Benevolent Fund. “Contributing all proceeds from sales of their cool merchandise to Unison means that more musicians who might be struggling with health or financial needs will be able to get by.”

“Music is unconditional in its love,” said Andrew Berthoff, SOCAN Chief Communications & Marketing Officer. ” Music ♥’s Everybody is a universal message that we hope all people, regardless of their musical preferences, will want to show off, while helping musicians and music industry professionals in need.”

The first pieces include Music ♥’s Everybody hoodies and shirts, plus some cool “SOCAN 90” gear. Campaign-style buttons are thrown in free with every purchase.
