Our Story
The Commercial Composers Association of Africa (CCA) is a collective of musicians, independent artists, labels, recording studios, and composers united by a common goal: to protect the value of music and intellectual property (IP) across the continent. In an industry often lacking transparency and accessible information, we stand as a forum for insights, advocacy, and the promotion of fair practices.
Our mission is to ensure that creators are fairly compensated for their work and that their rights are respected and upheld. We believe that the protection of music and IP is crucial not only for safeguarding the livelihoods of artists but also for fostering creativity and innovation within the African music industry.
By advocating for the rights of creators, we aim to build a more transparent, equitable, and thriving industry that benefits all stakeholders.
The CCAA provides a platform for dialogue, support, and collaboration, empowering our members with the knowledge and resources needed to navigate the complexities of the music business.
Through collective action, we strive to set industry standards that promote fairness, protect creative works, and ensure that African music continues to grow and resonate on a global scale
Our Approach
Our approach emphasizes the importance of education and information-sharing, ensuring that all members are equipped with the knowledge needed to navigate the complexities of the music business.
By promoting transparency and setting industry standards, we aim to create an environment where creativity can flourish and where all contributors to the music ecosystem are fairly recognized and rewarded.We believe that by coming together as a unified group, we can more effectively address the challenges facing the African music industry, particularly in areas such as intellectual property protection, fair compensation, and industry transparency.
Through collective action, we are able to pool our resources, share insights, and create a stronger voice to advocate for the rights and interests of all members.
Together, as a unified collective, we are dedicated to driving positive change, protecting our creative works, and shaping the future of the African music industry for the betterment of all.
