EARS x India Songs & Sessions 2026 brings Indian music and film industry professionals to Turku. During the camp, Finnish pop songwriters will, for the first time, write music directly for the Indian market together with their Indian counterparts.
The international Songs & Sessions songwriting camp will culminate in a final event at Logomo in Turku on April 23, 2026, bringing together Finnish and Indian music industry professionals. The event can also be followed freely via a live stream.
Join us via the stream! The final event offers insights into the fast-growing Indian entertainment market and cross-IP collaboration opportunities, along with first-hand experiences of international collaboration from artists, songwriters, managers, and publishers.
The songwriting camp and final event are delivered in collaboration with Music Finland, Song Asia, West Finland Film Commission, Humak University of Applied Sciences (HUMAK), and India Music Exchange. The EARS X India project is supported by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
