APRA AMCOS organises various SongHubs around the world each year. The short intensive songwriting camps bring together selected APRA AMCOS members and renowned international songwriters and producers to create new hits.
There are opportunities for published and unpublished songwriters and composers, irrespective of genre. It's an incredible opportunity, with the potential to reach new markets overseas and at home.
SongHubs aims to:
“I put my guys in sessions week in week out, and as with any they can be hit and miss. But there's a special bond and unity that arises from a camp like Songhubs where, if you get the mix of personalities, skills and recording artists right, you end up with some great results."
— Andrew Jackson (Milton Archer - Hook N Sling / The Aston Shuffle)
