Warner Chappell Music (WCM), in partnership with YouTube Music, recently hosted its seventh annual Next Up Music City songwriting camp, bringing together more than 100 world-class songwriters, artists and producers.

The sessions focused on fostering deep connections and unique collaborations among attendees. In collaborations with label partners including Warner Records, Sony Music Nashville, RCA, MCA, and BBR/BMG, the lineup featured Dustin Lynch, Maddox Batson, Elizabeth Nichols, Dougie F and Skyler Stonestreet, among others.

“There is something truly special about bringing songwriters from all over the country together in Nashville,” share Katy Wolaver, SVP, A&R and Bethany Mako, Manager A&R, WCM. “Beyond the incredible songs that were written, there’s a deep sense of community that’s built at this camp among creators who wouldn’t otherwise have met. We’ve seen firsthand how this collaborative environment builds long-lasting creative friendships that lead to shared success far beyond our studios.”

“We’re so proud to support Warner Chappell’s Next Up Music City writing camp and the extraordinary roster of songwriters and producers who attended,” adds Jenna Rubenstein, Head of Songwriter Relations for YouTube Music. “Both YouTube Music and Warner Chappell share a joint mission of empowering songwriters at all stages, and this camp has done just that. Warner Chappell has proven ability to bring the right creative voices together and we can’t wait to hear the incredible records that will come from these sessions.”
