Most “music conferences” give you panels, wristbands, and a nice tote bag. CAMP Vancouver is built to give you proof: finished records, real relationships, and direct access to people who make decisions. From November 27 to 30, we are taking over Back End, Soundhouse Studios, Sovereign Creatives, and Warehouse Studio for four days of performance, panels, writing rooms, and invite only sessions with Create Music Group. This blog walks you through how it works and how to plug i

Live workshop: Tuesday, November 25 at 8:30 p.m. EST --- Executive summary Landing a sync is exciting. Negotiating it properly is what decides how much you actually keep, how long you give it away, and how free you are to use that song again. This final Campus session takes you past “I am just happy to be here” and teaches you how to read the deal, ask for more, and protect your catalog without scaring off the opportunity. You will leave with a simple framework you can use on

Some nights are just about being in the right room. This one is exactly that. Beatcave is partnering with Audio Station and RISE Edutainment for a social night inside District 9 Snack Bar that blends performances, music sharing, and face-to-face connection in a space that already lives at the intersection of food, culture, and community on November 20th This is not a panel. Not a conference. This is a night to show up as you are, plug into the scene, and leave with new peopl

Some records are meant to live past the session. “Stuck” is one of those records. It was born inside our CAMP event in Toronto this summer, in a room full of strangers who left as collaborators. Now we are bringing that energy across the country and putting it in the hands of Vancouver’s beat community. For this next edition, we’re partnering with Loop Sessions Vancouver  to remix “Stuck” live, together. Why Loop Sessions Vancouver + Beatcave makes sense Loop Sessions Vancouv

Most music events talk about the industry from a distance. Tomorrow night, the Green Tea Industry Workshop brings it right into the room. On Wednesday, November 19, Sovereign Creatives will host an intimate, working-night-style gathering in Vancouver where artists, producers, and creatives can get real insight, real feedback, and real connections. The night is powered by Green Tea, presented in collaboration with Beatcave, GS2N ENT, and Sovereign Creatives, with support from

If you want your music on TV, film, ads, or games, you eventually bump into the same two words: Music libraries and sync agents. They both say they “pitch your music for sync.” They are not the same thing. Most artists just click “I agree” and hope for the best. That is how you end up in bad deals, missing money, or watching a song sit in someone’s catalog with zero movement. Tomorrow night at Campus, we are going to slow this all the way down. This Week 3 session is built to

A record born inside CAMP just landed on some of the biggest playlists in the game. “Stuck” is what happens when a room full of talented people who have never met decide to trust the process, make something from scratch, and leave as friends with a finished record they actually own. This is why CAMP exists. The record: “Stuck” Title:  Stuck Listen on Spotify:   https://open.spotify.com/track/15LTmymmcVAMfCyDxlrO4R?si=bd702f480ef84f99 Artists Jon Kabongo – storyteller with sha

When heartbreak becomes a compass There are songs that mend, songs that celebrate, and songs that make you stop and look inward. Kirstylez’s new single belongs to the third kind. Ethereal, intimate, and born in a home studio, the track does more than narrate a breakup. It issues a clear invitation: choose yourself before you hand your heart away again. From cloud drive sketches to a single that refuses to be small Kirstylez has always used songwriting as a way to illustrate c

Hitting 500 day one streams is not luck. It is a system. Engineer attention, then convert that attention into saves, follows, and shares that compound. Nick Ruffalo’s playbook starts with brand clarity, separates content from marketing, and uses proof to build trust before traction. You will run that same system below. Core principles 1. Clarity beats aesthetics. Define who the music is for and the feeling you deliver. Keep that promise across every touchpoint. 2. Content ear

Here’s the hard truth: attention isn’t dead. Boring content is. If you want people to care, stop blaming “short attention spans” and start making content that’s genuinely intriguing. The myth to drop right now You’ve probably heard the “goldfish attention span” stat. It’s not real. Researchers and UX leaders have debunked it for years. The problem isn’t that humans can’t focus. It’s that we don’t focus on things that don’t earn our attention. Meanwhile, people binge multi-hou
