The Tileyard Education International Songwriting Camp is for aspiring and professional writers, producers and artists looking to write to live commercial brief and find new co-writing friends and business partners.
Located just outside the bustling and vibrant city, the venue is a large, luxury guesthouse with a swimming pool offset by traditional Moroccan interiors. The garden, with views of the Moroccan countryside, is a perfect place to relax and wind down after a hard day’s writing and a few glasses of wine!
Held over four days, you will collaborate and network with a new team of writers and professional producers daily. You should expect to leave with four professionally mixed tracks written to live commercial brief.
Our professional writers and on-site pastoral team will also work with you offering advice, top tips and guidance. All tracks written will be also sent to the clients and the wider network of Tileyard A&R executives.
70% of songwriters on our last International Songwriting Camp signed at least one single song agreement.
Tileyard Education has released three exclusive production albums of music written on our camps with Felt Music and BMG. Expand your portfolio, your contacts and widen your creative horizons.
On the application form, please send examples of original songs you have written and recorded and any additional information related to your experience.
