Go Inside This Year's 50 Songs In 5 Days Songwriting Camp

Plus, check out the podcast recorded live from the camp.

Specific Music and APRA AMCOS Songhubs 50 Songs In 5 Days took over Sydney's Studios 301 last week, bringing together some of Australia's best talent for a five day intensive songwriting camp.

This year included involvement from the likes of AB Original, Vera Blue, Ricki-Lee Coulter, Thelma Plum, Montaigne, Angie McMahon and more, with the camp getting up and coming acts to work with established artists on their tracks.

Studios 301 General Manager Ron Haryanto sat down to speak with some of the artists involved as part of The Music's Producer Series. 

Haryanto also chatted with Specific Music's Rob Conley, who curates the event, about the camp went and how the idea came about. Check out the podcast and pics below.
