Over 20 phenomenal tracks were created across a very productive three days. This documentary showcases the true power of creative collaboration. It also offers advice to aspiring songwriters and producers from some of the most relevant music creators right now.
The WhoWeBe brand is continuing to evolve and has grown massively since our first live show at Alexandra Palace back in 2017. We’re thrilled that we have been able to build out different areas of the brand, taking it from one of the most listened to playlists to a critically acclaimed podcast - WhoWeBe TALKS_ - and now partnering with PRS for Music to create this incredible opportunity for songwriters. It’s a massive milestone for the brand and we’re looking forward to continue helping artists to grow.
Other artists that took part in the WhoWeBe Songwriting Sessions include AOD, Big Zuu, Cillian, EY, Frisco, iO, KrizBeatz, Lioness, Moelogo, P2J, Preditah, Remedee, Rocco, Savanna, Scott Supreme & Scott Styles, Sharna Bass, Show N Prove, Skengdo x AM, SL, Still Greedy and TSB.
The WhoWeBe playlist has grown substantially over time and is now the UK’s biggest Rap, Grime and R&B Playlist, with over half a million followers.
