About EBA

For the pro sports athlete and successful creator, keeping track of finances can also be a full time job. At EBA, we take care of the paperwork so you can get back to doing what you do best.

In Canada, there are multitudes of Federal and Provincial grants and tax credits to support the creative process. With new technology developments, new royalties and income streams are being created regularly. While these programs have all been instituted to give Canadian creators a leg up and ensure proper compensation for art, be it music, visual or otherwise,  keeping track and on top of them  is a full time job.

Founded by a Canadian Entertainment lawyer in response to a perceived deficiency in for-hire administrative support in the music business, EBA now provides a wide range of services to all areas of the entertainment industry.

EBA services include grant and tax credit administration, royalty collection, and outsourced services to the music industry, production legal support, tax credit administration and receivable financing for the film &TV industry and business management to the sports industry.

EBA. We make your life easier, we make your life wealthier.

EBA Spotlight...Daniel Victor and Neverending White Lights


Daniel Victor is a Juno-nominated Canadian recording artist, multi-instrumentalist and producer who is most famous for his work with Neverending White Lights (http://nwlmusic.com/).  His list of accolades includes two Indie Music Awards, a Radio Music Award, and a win for Best Independent Video of the Year at the 2011 Much Music Video Awards.

Released in 2005, the first Neverending White Lights album, "Act 1: Goodbye Friends of the Heavenly Bodies" was a multi-artist collaboration spearheaded by Victor.  In 2007, Victor released the follow-up "Act 2: The Blood and the Life Eternal". Act 2’s single, The Grace (featuring  City & Colour) was a # 1 hit across Canada.

Between 2007 and 2011, Victor went to work on the long awaited "Act 3: Love Will Ruin" album. After a long process and a trip back to the drawing board, Act 3 was released on November 8, 2011.

Victor stated that "every song has to take you somewhere, every song has to hit you, and every song has to make you close your eyes and get chills. It was the letting go that allowed me to get to those moments. I tested them on myself, and these are the songs that have stood up for me."

"Act 3: Love Will Ruin" is now available for download.  Get your copy here: http://nwlmusic.com/store/

EBA’s Success Story of the Year is JRDN!

Emerging Canadian R&B/hip-hop star Jordan Croucher is making up for a late start in his music career in a big way with the soulful songs from his forthcoming second album.

Croucher grew up in Halifax and Toronto and, even though it was evident that the youngster had an excellent voice, music took a back seat to basketball in high school and at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia — which led to a year playing professionally in France.

Croucher elected to give up on his hoop dreams and re-immersed himself in music by working with Halifax producer Trobiz and recording mix tapes with the groups N.E.P. and Triple Threat. He eventually hooked up with multi-Juno Award-nominated artist/producer Classified (Luke Boyd), who produced Croucher's 2007 debut album, No Dress Code.

The 13-track record spawned the hit singles and videos "Selfish Times," "Feelin' Fine," "So Addicted," "Won't Let Go" and "It's Raining." It also earned Croucher a CBC Galaxie Rising Star prize, an East Coast Music Award nomination and an appearance on the CBC Television special, Barenaked East Coast Music. He toured across Canada with the likes of Maestro and opened for such international stars as Ne-Yo, Snoop Dogg, Rihanna, Nas and Juelz Santana.

With Croucher's undeniable talents as a singer and lyricist, his good looks and solid citizenry, it should be no surprise that he's now poised to take the next step up the music ladder using the name JRDN. He's been working with Toronto's Grammy Award-nominated Kuya Productions songwriting and production team, who've worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Nelly, Mase, Ginuwine, Jesse McCartney, Nicole Scherzinger and Akon.
