SoundX : Workshops
A songwriting & production camp for young artists
Led by Dhruv Agarwala — engineer on Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum records with billions of streams in his credits, a Recording Academy voting member and a member of the UAE National Symphony Orchestra at the age of 17 with a Berklee scholarship after graduating from a UAE school.
One artist per cohort wins a full professional release — their song finished and distributed to Spotify, Apple Music and everywhere else, completely free. The artist keeps 100% of it.
