SAM has the Songfactor

Share |

The Sussex Academy of Music is home to a wide range of music tuition and is passionate about bringing music to people of all ages. The Academy is run by two young entrepreneurs --- Ben Stringer and Rob Biss --- school friends whose dedication to create a purpose built premises for people to discover music, has flourished over the past year, with many announcements imminent.

One of these exciting new concepts has arisen through working closely with the legendary David Courtney, international songwriter and record producer, who has worked with legends such as Roger Daltrey, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney.

Songfactor
Songfactor is a workshop which will revolutionise songwriting workshops for aspiring talent. Endorsed by Roland, in affiliation with the PRS, Performing Rights Society and with a radio show due to start on Brighton's Juice 107.2 FM, Songfactor will showcase new songwriting talent using SAM's unique atmosphere to create a dynamic workshop for lyricists and composers. Courtney's inspiration derives from New York's Brill Building, in which singer songwriters came together to form songwriting teams including Bacharach & David and Goffin and King.

The Sussex Academy of Music will utilise its themed tuition rooms, Live Room and recording studio to create an exciting weekly workshop, the results of which will be showcased on Brighton's Juice 107.2 FM and furthermore at regular live showcases, which will be held at a renowned Brighton venue, yet to be announced.

Aspiring writers will work together in this building to create songs which could potentially reach the charts, an immensely exciting prospect for both the 'apprentices' and putting local talent on the map!
