Since its founding in 2017, MITSOUKO MUSIC has been dedicated to nurturing and promoting musical talent through meaningful partnerships between musicians and cultural actors. Located in Le Breil Rond, 35340 Liffre, our association serves as a vital bridge connecting musicians with venues, event organizers, and artistic networks, fostering opportunities for paid performances that respect both artistic integrity and professional standards.
Our Origins
MITSOUKO MUSIC was created out of a shared passion for live music and a recognition of the challenges musicians face in building sustainable careers. From the outset, our founders envisioned an association that would not only promote artists but also protect their rights, ensure fair treatment, and facilitate connections with venues that appreciate the value of live performance.
The name “MITSOUKO MUSIC” reflects both a personal and cultural resonance—a commitment to bringing music to life with depth and authenticity. Over the years, our work has grown from supporting local artists and small events to establishing a respected network that spans multiple regions and styles.
Why We Exist
The world of live music is full of complexities. Musicians often struggle to find consistent, well-paid gigs; venues sometimes face difficulties securing reliable artists that fit their program; and event organizers can be overwhelmed by the administrative and logistical demands of managing performances.
MITSOUKO MUSIC exists to simplify and humanize this process. We believe that music is an essential cultural good that deserves to be nurtured in a professional and respectful environment. Our role is to bring transparency, trust, and fairness to the relationships between artists and the spaces that host them.
We work to ensure that musicians are not exploited or overlooked and that venues and organizers receive the quality and professionalism they need to succeed. This dual commitment to artists and cultural actors is at the heart of our association’s identity.
