David Bussières

Director at SOCAN

Cofounder of musical duo Alfa Rococo, David Bussières created and produced all four albums of the group, as well as over 100 of their live performances. Alfa Rococo won two Félix awards in 2008 and has garnered over 12 nominations since. As well as having a successful career spanning over 15 years, David has participated in numerous musical endeavors and has performed at numerous festivals in Québec, and abroad. Along with his artistic activities, David has a keen interest in the compensation mechanisms for songwriters in music’s new digital economy. This interest motivated his founding of the RAM (Regroupement des artisans de la Musique) in the fall of 2016; the group’s aim is to provide all craftspeople working in the music industry a platform to freely express themselves and help define a fairer economic model for artists. David is also a board member of the Union des artistes (UDA), of ARTISTI, and of Métamusique.
