Music company Ostereo has teamed up with Warner Chappell to launch a new series of songwriting camps. Under the name Song Circle, an initial three day event begins at Abbey Road Studios in London today.

Eight teams, each consisting of up to four artists and writers, will be holed up in the studios working on different briefs, with support on hand from other artists, including Wh0, Billen Ted, Tom Enzy, Jessica Hammond and Dani Senior.

“I founded Ostereo with a deep passion for music talent and I feel proud to launch Song Circle – an exciting event for artists – at the world’s greatest studio”, says Ostereo CEO Howard Murphy.

“At a time when discourse around AI songwriting tools is at an all-time high, we want to continue the long tradition of songwriting and celebrate the wonderful individuals who sit at the forefront of it, alongside one of the world’s greatest music publishers, Warner Chappell Music”, he continues. “Song Circle is a very human camp, where emotion, heart and experience will set the stall for the hits it produces”.

On their involvement, Wh0 add: “It’s an absolute pleasure to be involved in this songwriting camp. We often find these camps extremely productive in terms of finishing off songs we’ve started, and also rewarding to share our expertise and knowledge with the participants attending”.

“Camps like these are designed for creative communities to easily come together, collaborate and produce some of their best work – which is where the magic happens”, they go on. “With it taking place at the legendary Abbey Road Studios, we’re excited to take part and guide the writers to not only create exceptional music but also make new friends”.

Ostereo says it plans to hold similar events twice a year, taking over well known venues in other cities around the world. This first camp will conclude on Thursday with a party and networking event at Koko in Camden.
