The Orchard held the second edition of the Female/Non-binary Hiphop/R&B Songwriting Camp in Sweden a couple of weeks ago with partners Sony Music Publishing and House of Creative. The camp focuses on building a safe space for women and non-binary people to find connections across borders, while creating amazing music together.
Last year the camp was the first of its kind held in the Nordics. The camp was this year expanded to 25 artists, songwriters and producers, with participants from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, England, Netherlands and Spain. The music created was in Swedish, English and Spanish.
From The Orchard, international participants in the camp included artists such as Julieta (SP), Shaé Universe (UK), TYSON (UK), Ginge (NL), Aggi (DK), Tamara (DK), Ingrid Jasmin (NO), and Swedish artist Venus Anon.
“So happy to once again be part of creating this camp where women and non-binary have been able to connect across borders and create long-lasting relationships. Even though we have a long way to go for an inclusive music business, it’s inspiring seeing so many women in the same place making great music and creating future opportunities for each other”
