Soho Sonic’s Artist Development Programme in London helps independent and emerging artists build professionally produced music ready for release. Working with our experienced producers, engineers and songwriters, you’ll receive bespoke support across songwriting, production, recording, mixing and mastering while developing your sound, portfolio and long-term career.
Our Artist Development Programme is tailored to every artist. Whether you’re creating your first professionally produced single or working towards an EP or album, our team will build a programme around your goals. You’ll work closely with the Sonic Crew across production, recording, mixing and mastering, with the option to collaborate with our songwriters to develop existing material or create new music from scratch.
Included:
As part of the programme, you’ll become part of our wider music community, with opportunities to network, collaborate and develop your career beyond the studio. Benefits may include A&R guidance, social media support, exclusive studio offers, industry networking events and access to our growing community of artists, producers and musicians.
We also collaborate with organisations including Soho House, Sony, Universal and Notting Hill Music.
We work with artists we genuinely believe in. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all package, every programme is tailored to your music, your ambitions and the stage you’re at in your career.
Our Artist Development Programme is led by The Sonic Crew, a team of experienced producers, engineers and creatives dedicated to helping artists reach their full potential. Working collaboratively with every client, they provide the guidance, technical expertise and creative support needed to develop your music with confidence.
Whether you’re preparing your first release or building a long-term catalogue, we’d love to hear about your music and discuss whether the Artist Development Programme is the right fit for you.
Absolutely not! We have a team of about 20 producers, engineers and songwriters of all different styles. We always put the best team around you depending on your style and requirements!
Although we like to meet you first in the studio, this is not an audition, but just a way for us to see if we’re a good match and see your current skills in singing and songwriting.
The programme payments are broken down into bespoke monthly instalments which can be determined by your budget, how many songs you want to do, and how long you want to be on the programme.
Definitely not! We work with artists of all ages. The important thing is that you take it seriously and you work hard in your sessions. If you are a minor, we ask that you bring a parent or guardian with you to your sessions.
We can be flexible with session bookings. Normally we book them during our off-peak times (e.g. evenings and weekends). This usually works quite well for those who have a full time job or study.
Although we can give you advice from our decades of experience in the industry, we are not a management company or a label. We do, however, run industry events where you can gain amazing advice and connections. Check out our Sonically page to find out more about them!
We are aware that this is a very sensitive matter for independent artists. We strive for complete transparency in every project we do and always give clarity on our proposals about all of the rights and royalties (e.g. ownership, song share agreement, production points). We work closely with the MU and PRS to ensure we are always fair with musicians. We are musicians ourselves, so the artists are always the priority!
We are mainly focused on the production and recording of the music. However, we are always looking for more opportunities for the artists we develop. This is something that can be discussed in more detail in a meeting.
An artist development programme provides ongoing creative and professional support to help musicians develop their songs, recordings, performance and long-term career. At Soho Sonic, every programme is tailored to the individual artist.
Every programme is bespoke. The length depends on your goals, the number of songs you’re creating and the level of support you require.
Yes. We work with artists at different stages of their journey. The most important qualities are commitment, enthusiasm and a willingness to develop your craft.
