✅ Selection Procedure
To ensure a balanced mix of writers, producers and artists, and because of the limited capacity of our venues, Songscape will host 3 participant selection rounds ahead of the camp. This selection is not only about experience level, but about creative fit, diversity and collaboration.
💿 Label Support
Songscape is powered by Altered Records, an independent pop record label. Everything you create belongs 100% to you in both master and copyright. We simply give the exciting first option to help bring your song to the world if you want to release it. Our A&R team will be listening throughout the camp, ready to spot potential hits and talent.
The Team
Drawing on Nina’s adventures at songwriting retreats abroad where she first felt the exhilaration of composing in invigorating new surroundings, Songscape reignites that very creative spark right here in Belgium.
With his own recording studio and independent record label as a backdrop, Robbe brings
invaluable technical support and creative resources to the camp.
Together, Nina and Robbe combine international inspiration, technical expertise, and
a passion for music and community to deliver an unforgettable creative weekend.
More than just a songwriting camp, Songscape is an immersive experience where
great memories fuel great music.
