MDLBEAST studios host the Kingdom’s first Songwriting Camp for Hip Hop and Indie Pop Artists in the MENA Region at Beast House

MDLBEAST, the leading Saudi music entertainment company has unveiled exciting new plans to utilize their in-house, purpose-built recording studios — Beast House — to host a series of inspiring writing camps. This initiative follows the recent announcement of the launch of MDLBEAST Publishing, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s first music publishing entity. The MDLBEAST team remains committed to offering career development opportunities to music creators in the region and beyond.

Songwriting camps are widely recognized as intensive, transformative experiences that can accelerate the growth and success of aspiring songwriters. They provide opportunities for collaboration, networking, skills development, confidence building, and showcasing songwriting and producing talent. MDLBEAST Records and Publishing continues to lead the way for aspiring creators, equipping them with the essential tools necessary for professional and creative development.

“It was a pleasure to welcome local and regional singers, songwriters and producers to Riyadh and our studios at Beast House, so much talent and comradery for this special first week.  The attendance of our friends from Jordan, Egypt, Sudan and Lebanon, working alongside Saudi talent and producers was a breathtaking experience.  The creativity and passion for music was infectious, pulsating through the studios and breakout spaces. 

The purpose of Beast House is to build a hub where like-minded talent can come and share ideas, build relations and create together.  The aim of this camp was to focus on Arabic singers and songwriters, and mix with producers and musicians to push down the walls of the past and make new and exciting steps forward, defining the emerging new identity and sound from Saudi and the region.”
