The Day the Music Died… (but the Grammy’s lived on) 💥

The Grammys red carpet was FULL of Creators. Did anyone catch what Alix Earle ended up wearing for shoes?? Or see Sofia Richie’s official pregnancy debut on the red carpet? Quite the eventful night!

WE’RE OFFICIALLY ON THE APPLE APP STORE 📲

ICYMI we’ll be shutting down TestFlight over the next week, so if you want to continue to spill the tea, find out about brand deals, and discuss how much $$$ you should be charging, then make sure to download Canopy on the App Store! 

Click the link below or search “Canopy Creator Community” in the App Store. 🤠 (leave us a 5* review and we’ll love you 4ever).  

What’s on the Agenda 👀

  • TikTok Trend Update 🔥 

  • ICYMI - Entrepreneur Magazine 🚨

  • Live from the Groupchat 💬 

  • Meet Rella: The Best Creator Assistant

  • UMG Pulls their Catalog

The Fray seems unscathed by TikTok’s silent days, as their song “I’ll look after

you” seems to be catching wind with this heartwarming trend. Share two photos, one current and one old of something you cherish, whether that’s your former self, your pup, or get cheeky with it like this creator did.

ICYMI 🚨

Entrepreneur Magazine is doing a feature on Canopy and is looking to highlight THREE of YOU!

We’re on the hunt to highlight three creators who have benefitted from being a part of the Canopy community– specifically as it relates to pay transparency or mental health

If you learned something on the app that helped you get paid, negotiate better rates, feel less alone in your creator journey or something else, send us an email and let us know. We’d love to feature you in Entrepreneur Magazine.

After all, 2024 is about making BIG moves, like your editorial debut. 💅

Canopy Convos We’re LOVING  🥰 🙌🏽

We love to see the Canopy Community coming together to support each other and the those around us. We ALL know +1s can get tricky, and it’s more about who not to bring than anything else. And HERE is the sound! Can’t wait to see what you create :)

Rella: A Content Creator’s Dream Aid 🗨️ 

One of the most popular questions we see on Canopy are Creators asking how to manage the back office of their business. And today we’re excited to share that our friends at Rella are giving the Canopy community a special discount on their annual plans! 

If you don’t already know, Rella is the back office tool for Creators, managers, and their teams. Natalie Barbu, Founder of Rella and a Creator herself, built Rella to solve her own challenges with managing the backend of her Creator business. 

Rella is more than a content planner or a management tool - it's the centralized hub you wish you had during the early days of content creation. On Rella, Creators can organize, collaborate, and manage their businesses all in one place. With over 18,000 creators already on board, what are you waiting for? 

Use code CANOPY and get 50% off all annual plans! 

PAUSE the Music ⏯️ 

It’s safe to say that most Creator’s woke up to much of their content muted in the past few days. Artists themselves who blew up on TikTok have weighed in on the situation and it seems nobody is happy.

This happened because Universal Music Group (UMG) believes that TikTok doesn’t adequately compensate artists for the use of their work on the platform. Creator-Musicians who are signed to UMG are some of the people struggling the most, as their music can no longer go viral.

This does, HOWEVER, create an opportunity for the personality, lifestyle, educational, etc. Creators out there to get a viral sound. Reminiscent of the days of Vine, we need to hear what people have to say, so don’t leave it to Brittany Broski to be the only one with a trending funny comment or phrase!

Until Next Time…
