Join us and Benji Akpojaro (Triple Seven Music) to discuss how songwriting and publishing work in the world of A&R!

What exactly is A&R?
How would you go about getting your music heard by A&R?
How do you even secure songwriting/publishing deals?

We’ll be sitting down with Benji Akpojaro, an award-winning A&R Manager now with Triple Seven Music and formerly of Reservoir Media overseeing the creative careers of a versatile roster of hit songwriters and producers, including the Ivor Novello and Grammy-nominated Carla Marie Williams, CallMeTheKidd, Fekky, Stylo G, Hardy Caprio and more. Closer to Wales, Benji has also been offering crucial and inspiring advice to the young artists and producers on the award winning Honey Sessions project.
