Behind successful artists in the music industry, there is always a strong supportive network. The ›SOUND ON‹ format has been a magnet for young talent since 2020 and this year is all about collaboration. ›SOUND ON Vol. 3‹ presents itself as a platform for self-empowerment, networking and knowledge sharing: Rap artist Dein Couseng and radio host Tilmann Köllner invite young music creators to showcase their skills, exchange ideas and collaborate with professionals.

Katzi and the band Animat will show you the way to your own sound in the combined workshop ›Producing / Songwriting‹, regardless of whether you make rap or folk. Crystal Glass share valuable tips for solo songwriters who want to develop their sound in the ›Indie Gems‹ course. Dein Couseng shares creative strategies from his everyday life as a rapper and entertainer in the ›Advanced Pen Game‹ workshop. In the ›Hands On Live Lecture‹, Alina Denisiuc (guitar: Rin, Casper) and Benjamin Weu from Figur Lemur will pass on strategies that will give you confidence both at a living room concert and on the festival stage. In addition to many opportunities for musical collaboration, there will be backdrops for content creators and all the refinements of a modern venue. 

But it all starts on Friday with ›SOUND ON meets Nouruz‹: a cozy talk with the hosts and the participants of Vol. 1 - 3 offers space for anecdotes of successes and creative dampeners, while the unique vibe of the Nouruz spring festival is created in the foyer. DJ TAĪĪZ will be causing a stir from 6 pm with unique beats.
