Whether you're already a producer, singer, songwriter, rapper, or musician — or dreaming of becoming one — this group is your launchpad. Collaborate with like-minded artists, experiment with Logic Pro, write original songs, and learn how to shape your sound from the ground up. All levels are welcome.
Whether you're into hip hop, R&B, indie, pop, or something completely your own, you'll find a creative community that supports your growth. No instrument is required, but learning one can take your songwriting and production skills even further. Private lessons in guitar and keys are available.
With access to three studio spaces and groups of up to 12 students, there are endless opportunities for collaboration, feedback, recording, and creative development.
NCEA Songwriting support available.
SOLE is where future artists grow — a creative, welcoming space that supports real-world skills, bold ideas, and fearless expression.
