What is Cylia AudioID?

Cylia AudioID is an independent source of music industry information and data for the Caribbean.

We monitor, collect and disseminate information and data from multiple sources to create a representation of the music industry within the Caribbean.

What is the National Archive initiative?

Simply put – these are a system of archives of the music with the goal to capture all the releases from the Caribbean.

Why register my music?

Information is critical to a well functioning industry – especially within the separate, inter-connected islands of the Caribbean.

Industry professionals (Performers, managers, producers etc), national agencies, policy makers and even service providers need to know or estimate the conditions within the music industry to be able to plan and execute.

The output of music is one indicator of the size and health of the music industry which Cylia AudioID  monitors.
