ARTIST PROFILES

HOUSE OF TALENTS

In this documentary series, we follow the journey of six emerging artists from across Europe who come together for an exclusive songwriting experience in Barcelona. There, they live in a villa filled with instruments and a home studio with a mission to collaborate, create music and perform live.

EPISODE 1: WRITING & COMPOSING

Six upcoming artists who haven’t met before arrive at the House of Talents in Barcelona. They form teams of two and start their mission to create songs in three days, leading up to a final performance of their work in an intimate concert. The first episode captures the beginning of this creative journey, from the artists getting to know each other, to writing lyrics and composing melodies.
