#292 - How To Avoid Underselling Your Music

FAQS

Everything you need for an immersive creative experience is included: accommodation for the full three days, all meals (catering for all dietary requirements), access to professional recording facilities, mentorship sessions with platinum-selling songwriters and our A&R executive, marketing guidance, Q&A sessions, and most importantly, direct submission of your songs to major publishing briefs.
We keep our groups deliberately small to ensure everyone receives personalised support and meaningful one-on-one time with our industry professionals. This intimate setting also means better networking opportunities and more substantial collaboration.
