A training program for european emerging songwriters-producers

About

Nowadays, being a song­writer-pro­du­cer means being multi-task­ing : prac­ti­cing its instru­ment, devel­op­ing its career, integ­rat­ing net­work of pro­fes­sion­als, pro­mot­ing its pro­ject, diver­si­fy­ing rev­en­ue streams, man­aging copy­rights, under­stand­ing and deal­ing with new digit­al practices.

Nowadays, being a song­writer-pro­du­cer is to be a key influ­en­cer and the major stake­hold­er of its career.

Slash is a learn­ing pro­gram ded­ic­ated to nine emer­ging pro­fes­sion­al song­writers-pro­du­cers. The main goal of this pro­gram is to sup­port them in this new con­text and to provide them con­crete and prac­tic­al tools to solve issues, detect new oppor­tun­it­ies and deal with day-to-day life.
