MUSIQC.FR Launches: A New Platform for Francophone Music Discoverability

On October 6, 2025, the Québec-based discoverability initiative, MUSIQC.CA, took a significant step forward in expanding its reach with the official launch of MUSIQC.FR in Paris. This free initiative is dedicated to showcasing francophone artists and responding to the growing need to connect audiences with the vast wealth of music from the francophone world.

The launch event is set for October 15, at 7 PM, during the MaMA Music Convention, making it a strategic highlight for the francophone music community. MUSIQC.FR will be unveiled alongside the partnership with the MaMA, building on the success of the beta version of MUSIQC.CA presented at the previous year's convention. This launch symbolizes a concerted effort to establish a sustainable bridge between Québec’s vibrant music scene, Europe, and international francophone culture.

What is MUSIQC?

MUSIQC is not just another streaming platform; instead, it serves as a solution designed to promote editorial, thematic, and personalized playlists curated by music enthusiasts. This innovative tool facilitates the discovery of global francophone artists, allowing for an engaging and intuitive navigation experience. With a fully francophone selection, MUSIQC.FR empowers artists, media professionals, and music industry stakeholders to quickly identify new talents and rediscover their favorites. The platform remains entirely free, requiring no account, password, or identifier to function and readily connects users with their preferred music services.

Why MUSIQC?

In a digital landscape dominated by algorithms and major tech companies, many francophone talents struggle to gain visibility. This lack of exposure inhibits their ability to reach audiences and feeds into the uniformity of musical culture.

A Political Concern

Ariane Charbonneau, Executive Director of SPACQ-AE, emphasizes the political importance of music discoverability: “The visibility of francophone music is a crucial issue. With MUSIQC.FR, we offer a platform that showcases our music both in France and Canada. We are particularly excited that our first launch outside of Canada is taking place in France, in collaboration with MaMA. We hope this discoverability model can inspire and extend across the francophonie.”

This launch brings a sense of urgency as the francophone music scene confronts the demand for innovative solutions to enhance the discoverability of its diverse talent. The initiative serves to elevate the profiles of these artists, providing them with a dedicated platform that highlights their contributions to the global music landscape.

In conclusion, MUSIQC.FR is a transformative step towards enriching the world of francophone music. By facilitating connections between artists and audiences, and by establishing partnerships with key players in the music industry, this initiative holds great promise for the future of francophone music discoverability. As the world of music continues to evolve, platforms like MUSIQC.FR will play an essential role in ensuring that the rich tapestry of francophone culture remains visible and vibrant.

Stay tuned for updates as this initiative unfolds, starting with a vibrant launch that celebrates the richness of francophone musical heritage.
