April 12, 2024
The Union of Independent French Phonographic Producers (French: Union des Producteurs Phonographiques Français Indépendants; UPFI) is a trade organisation that brings together independentrecord labels and music distributors in France. Its headquarters are based in the nation's capital Paris.[1]
Founded on 12 June 1986 as the Professional Association of Independent Phonographic Producers (French: Association Professionelle des Producteurs Phonographiques Indépendants; APPI), the organisation changed the terms of its original statutes during its extraordinary general meeting of 8 June 1993. It was during the same meeting that the organisation changed its name to the UPFI.[1]
In its current constitution, the UPFI says its current objectives are:[1]
to bring together and represent all persons or entities practising the profession of producers, publishers of sound and video recordings, and all those whose activities are linked with the production of these sound and video recordings;
to organise, educate and protect their professional, economic, moral, national and international interests;
generally, to do everything possible to ensure the promotion of production activities, and that of its members in particular, in France and abroad.
The UPFI is currently headed by its president Vincent Frèrebeau, who was elected during an annual general meeting held on 5 June 2014.[2][3] He took over from Stephan Bourdoiseau, who headed the organisation from June 2004 to June 2008, and had taken over from Frèrebeau himself in June 2010 for a second term.[4]
