Andrew Mosker

Andrew Mosker is the founding President and CEO of the National Music Centre. He has been with the organization for over 20 years, growing with and leading it through its various incarnations, from the grassroots Cantos Music Foundation to the National Music Centre, a now international hub for music.

Growing up immersed in Montreal’s music scene formed the foundation of Andrew’s life as a music advocate and genre-free explorer, who names late jazz pianist Oscar Peterson and folk poet Leonard Cohen as some of his greatest musical inspirations.

 After completing a bachelor’s degree in history and stints as a promoter and radio programmer, he moved from Québec to Alberta to pursue a performance degree in piano, and, after that, a master’s in musicology.

Andrew is a driving force behind Calgary’s momentum towards becoming a more music-friendly city. He is a Top 40 Under 40 alumni member, having been featured on the prestigious list in 2007 and then also being a judge for it in 2014. He is a founding member of and serves on the JUNO Awards committee for Electronic Music, as well as the JUNO Francophone committee; he was also a member of the 2008 and 2016 JUNOs host committee when the award show came to Calgary. In addition, he is the chair and co-founder of West Anthem (formerly Alberta Music Cities Initiative), which serves to further develop Alberta’s music scene. Lastly, in 2019, Andrew was the chair of the host committee for the Canadian Country Music Awards.

Some of his notable awards include:

2013 Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People – Venture Magazine

2014 Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People - Venture Magazine
