This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Danny Ross, a producer and songwriter based in NYC, a columnist at Forbes, and founder of the largest songwriting camp in the world, Anti Social Camp. Danny’s Anti Social Camp brings together over 250 songwriters, producers, and artists to collaborate amongst themselves and with major artists every summer in NYC. Past Anti Social Camp attendees have worked with artists including Jacob Collier, Miranda Lambert, Moby, Nile Rodgers, Kimbra, Andy Grammer, JP Saxe, and Rob Thomas. Brands like TikTok, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, TIDAL, The Recording Academy, Republic Records, DistroKid, and The MLC are also intricately involved in the Anti Social Camp experience.

If you are a songwriter or producer who’s ever wondered what goes down at songwriting camps or how to get involved, you’re going to learn all about that and more in this episode with Danny Ross.
