What are we writing for?

We will write for the artists at the camp, fresh leads and briefs we collected from industry professionals looking for specific songs.

This is a great opportunity to collaborate with other professional songwriters, grow your co-writing skills, expand your international network, and write and score a successful release. It's also a way to get noticed by industry professionals, potentially leading to more writing sessions, camps, and even getting signed.

How can I make the retreat more affordable?

Most authors or copyrights organization offer grants for authors participating songwriting initiatives to cover their costs.
What output is expected from a writing session?

We expect 1 strong song from every writing session, each day. The song must sound good enough to pitch it to professionals, as it will compete between other excellent produced songs.
