Over the past three years, Cosmic Jelly has built a global reputation for its songwriting camps. We’ve perfected the art of bringing diverse artists together to create exceptional records and career-defining experiences.
Now, we’re translating that to the stage.
Introducing our first-ever Performance Camp: a new kind of live music incubator. Ten artists/acts. Four days of instruction. Two dedicated coaches. World-class guest speakers and teachers. 1 final performance.
A space to…. refine your sound → elevate your performance → step confidently onto your next stage
Your tuition fee goes towards ensuring we have access to top tier venues, gear, staffing, pre-production and guest speakers.
We’ll be offering both full and partial scholarships to ensure a diverse range of artists can take part.
A music director alone can cost thousands. Here, you’ll receive that level of guidance, plus direct access to 1:1 feedback and coaching from some of the world’s leading performers, playback engineers, and live show experts.
Whether it’s your first time taking your productions to the stage or whether you’re refining an existing project, you’ll leave with a fully realized live set — ready to take on the world stage.
