BABYFACE, SPOTIFY HUNT FOR TALENT

Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds has opened a new publishing company, Good Vibes Music Group, that is launching with an organized search for producers and songwriters in conjunction with Spotify.

The Good Vibes Music Group, which includes co-founder Jason Murray of Black Box Music, will be running the Discovery Song Camp presented by Good Vibes Music Group, hosted by Spotify Secret Genius Studios in Los Angeles (4/16-10), Atlanta (5/21-25), Nashville (6/4-8), and London (8/13-17).

“I believe that all over the world there are incredible songwriters and producers that have never been discovered,” said Babyface. “With the launch of our Good Vibes Discovery Song Camp and Good Vibes Music Group, we are giving those songwriters and producers a chance to be heard, to be mentored, and to realize their dreams.” Eight people—four producers, four songwriters—will be chosen in each city from the applicants. Apply here.

In addition to working with the chosen songwriters and producers, Babyface will bring along industry pros to mentor, share experiences and provide career advice at the multi-day song camps.

“Good Vibes Music Group is a publishing company where the artistry comes first, and the business is the tailwind supporting it,” Murray said. “At our core, we believe in fair and transparent deals that will allow songwriters and producers to grow both artistically and financially. Integrity is the focus as we assist our creatives in navigating an ever-changing music industry. "
