Our aim is to have you walk away from this camp with a new community of local artsits and writers, the confidence to hold your own in a songwriting space as well as new ways to access your own creativity.
Song writing camps require you to take a step out of your comfort zone, they require you to fight or fly, and this is often where you can find the most creative and unfiltered version of yourself. And, if that sounds terrifying, then it’s probably exactly what you need.
Who the camp is for:
- Songwriters who want to build confidence with collaboration
- New artists who want to get experience in a music studio
- Experienced artists who want to develop their songwriting skills to elevate their music
- Writers who have a backlog of creativity but don't know what to do next
- Artists and musicians wanting to network with their local music community
- Vocalists looking to develop their toplining skills

Testimonals
Inspiring and supportive. I learnt so much, felt comfortable as it was a small group, the studio was such a great space to be in. Alex and Shell were both so knowledgeable and amazing teachers.
----------
I would 100% recommend this camp to anyone creative. From musicians wanting to work on songwriting to anyone interested, because it gets. You to see music in a different way, helps with coming up with creative ideas, and gets you out of your comfort zone to produce an outcome you’re proud of .
----------
Definitely. It felt amazing to write with other people and merge ideas. I feel like I can write a song now anytime instead of just when inspired. I felt we were treated like professionals instead of (in my case) an amateur and that increased my confidence hugely and made me feel part of the musician world instead of someone outside looking in.
----------
It was a chance to focus and hone in on our songwriting skills, an aspect of music creation that can be often overlooked for me as a producer primarily. I really appreciated expertise from both Dop and Shell as they combine their production knowledge with vocal storytelling in a complimentary way every musician should really have under their belt.
----------
The camp inspired me to write more haiku poems , to really break down a moment in time and tell a story. I also now have a. Stronger sense of what structure is within music, and that I shouldn’t get too hung up on it being perfect. I’ve also taken on using loops from splice as a starting place for my song to leap frog off from.
