Music has been part of our world since day one. We understand the business of sound, the contracts, the tours, the studios, the gear, and we’re here to protect every part of it.

Why music professionals choose Front Row Insurance
We're part of the music community
Front Row isn't an insurance company that happens to cover musicians; we're a brokerage that's been embedded in the music industry for over 15 years. We know the language, the risks, and the realities of life in music. Our clients don't see us as an outside service provider. They see us as part of their team.
Coverage built around how you work
A touring artist has very different needs than a recording studio or a music school. We don't apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Front Row builds coverage around your specific situation — whether that's a single tour, an ongoing policy for your studio, or liability protection for your school or association.
Preferred provider for SOCAN members
Front Row is a preferred insurance provider for members of the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN). We've built programs specifically designed for music creators and industry professionals, so if you're a SOCAN member, you already have access to coverage designed with you in mind.
We negotiate on your behalf
As Canada's largest entertainment insurance brokerage, we have established relationships with all of the leading insurance companies in the country. That means we can shop the market and negotiate the best coverage at the most competitive premium, so you get the right protection without overpaying for it.
Accessible when you need us
Musicians and music professionals don't always work nine to five, and questions about coverage don't either. Our team is responsive, accessible, and genuinely engaged with your work. When something comes up, you'll reach a person who understands your industry.
Claims advocacy when things go wrong
When gear gets stolen, a show gets cancelled, or something goes sideways on the road, Front Row is in your corner. We handle claims reporting, monitoring, and liaison with your insurer or adjuster, providing fast, knowledgeable service so you can focus on getting back to making music.
Built for Canada’s music industry
From independent artists to established production teams, Front Row Insurance delivers insurance solutions designed for the business of music across Canada.
