About

Writers Off the Block is an innovative initiative brought to life by 830 Music Group. This organization is dedicated to the art of music composition and actively organizes songwriting camps specifically tailored for professionals in the music industry. Their ultimate goal is to foster a welcoming and inspiring environment that encourages creativity among participants. The carefully designed structure of each camp ensures that attendees will have ample time to write, while also allowing for meaningful social interactions and opportunities to connect with fellow camp members.

These camps are skillfully organized by a team of talented musicians and producers who are passionate about creating affordable opportunities for other musicians. Drawing from their diverse experiences at various writing camps, they consistently improve the quality of each event, ensuring that every iteration becomes better than the last. With each camp, they collaborate with a range of artists, publishers, and labels who contribute valuable pitches for potential projects.

Writers Off the Block was founded by a close-knit group of four producers, songwriters, and friends (left to right): Tobi Verheij, Bas Wissink, Noah Timman, and Niels Sakko, who are all committed to the mission of nurturing musical talent within the community.
