It can be tough for an artist to get their break in the music business, fortunately the Internet provides a great platform where a local artist can gain international exposure. AOL Canada has brought their flagship music destination Spinner to the Canadian scene, this is the same place where Amy Winehouse delivered her first U.S. performance and where Canadian singer Feist performed long before North America heard her song “1, 2, 3, 4″ on the iPod commercial.
“Music is often placed behind under artificial barriers, separating legends from up-and-comers, indie from major label and genres from each other, but that’s not how music fans listen to music and that’s not how Spinner covers it,” explains Joshua Ostroff, Managing Editor of Spinner Canada. ” Spinner.ca is applying an eclectic approach to the Canadian music scene; giving the music enthusiast a mix of quality audio, video, live performances, interviews, news and commentary.”
On Spinner.ca, local editors and writers offer their perspective on the Canadian music industry,Spinner Canada offers music fans access to interviews, performances, videos and music from their favourite artists from Canada and around the world. Three key areas include:
- Northern Exposure a look at the best in new Canadian music

- Between the Notes an analysis of Current Canadian music trends
- Live It Out: Get the lowdown on the best and the worst of the Canadian live scene, as well as insider looks at Canada’s best venues, underground parties, concert reviews and more.
