The Camp

A cross-cultural writing camp in the heart of Negros Oriental

The H4H Writers and Producers Camp matches Filipino songwriters and producers with US-based songwriters and producers, supported by local mentors and coaches. Together they write, produce, and build relationships that reach beyond the week itself.

  • Core camp runs December 7–11, with arrivals December 6 and departures December 13.
  • Collaborative writing and production sessions, guided by experienced mentors and coaches.
  • Workshops in songwriting, production, and music business and copyright.
  • H4H covers accommodations, travel, and honorariums for coaches; participants are regional, and we handle transportation to camp once on island.

Workshops & Mentorship

Learn from working writers, producers, and industry pros

Songwriting

Craft sessions on writing songs that hold up — co-writing daily with artists from both scenes, plus local mentors who know the Visayas music community firsthand.

Production

Hands-on production labs where writers and producers shape ideas into finished demos, sharing techniques across genres and hometowns.

Music Business & Copyright

Plain-language sessions on rights, royalties, and publishing — the business side that helps songs keep earning for the people who make them.

H4H covers accommodations, travel, and honorariums for coaches only — participants are regional, and we handle transportation to camp once on island — so selected artists can focus on the music.
