A week long immersive experience in one of the main musical centers of Europe

During this “real world” creative experience you will engage with industry professionals, artists and peers in a songwriting camp hosted by the Wisseloord House of Music in The Netherlands in collaboration with BMG.

You will have the opportunity to work in one of the best studios of western Europe, writing, producing, and collaborating with established creatives in the Dutch music industry, an experience that ends with a final showcase where you will perform in front of industry professionals.

The House Of Music team will take care of inviting artists, other creatives and labels who are interested in working with the Berklee students and provide briefs from the industry.

The best tracks, selected by the Creative Director of the House of Music and the A&R’s of BMG will get the opportunity to get published by Wisseloord Publishing / BMG.
