(Toronto Star) Nagamo Publishing launches a new platform for Indigenous music makers
Nagamo Publishing is the world’s first Indigenous-created production music library. It’s a joint project between broadcasting network APTN and Bedtracks, a Toronto-based music house.
The music is created by Indigenous composers and/or musicians and can be licensed out across film, TV, and other media. One of the most notable pieces of media Nagamo music has appeared on was the hit television show Trickster.
In a press release, the company said their goal was to “provide much needed opportunities for Indigenous music creators to showcase their talents in the film and media industries.”
Nagamo Publishing was created after Oliver Johnson, President and Creative Director of Bedtracks, determined that there was a need for Indigenous music – from Indigenous people – in film, TV, and other media.
