Ep. 2 'Kim Temple' (Music Publisher, Director of Sync & Licensing)

Welcome to the episode 2 of "Women In The Music Industry", a podcast that shines a spotlight on the remarkable women who are breaking barriers and making their mark in an industry that has long been dominated by men.

Today we feature the incredible Kim Temple - a Juno-nominated musician who wears a few different hats in the Canadian music industry. Kim is head of the publishing and sync division at Six Shooter Records, a 23-year-old women-owned and women-led company based in Toronto. She is President of High Priestess Publishing, a joint venture created in partnership with Six Shooter whose core values are firmly aligned with those of the LGBTQ2S+ and racialized artist communities.

Kim is also Senior Manager of Programming & Industry Relations at Music Publishers Canada which is the non-profit national trade association for music publishers. In her role there she oversees the Women In The Studio national accelerator, designed to support and uplift female-identifying, non-binary and gender fluid producer-songwriters. She also leads international song camps and B2B trade missions in key export territories.

She currently sits on the music advisory committees for City of Toronto and Ontario Creates. Earlier this month she was presented with two awards at the Guild of Music Supervisors Sync Awards: Best Indie Label Sync Team and Sync Artist of the Year for Tanya Tagaq.
