HEARTH™'s Sync Camp is a 7-day, fully-immersive creative residency that brings together 4 singer/songwriters and 2 producers to write, record, and produce a finished 6-track catalog from absolute scratch—all documented on film.

This is a fully-hosted, all-expenses-paid retreat in a rotating US city. No demos. No pre-production. Just raw talent, collaborative energy, and a sprint to the finish line.

The catalog enters HEARTH's Music Supervision Library for sync licensing. The creative journey is captured as a documentary-style short film. The cohort debuts the work live at HEARTH's Annual Celebration—in front of the industry decision-makers who can place your music in film, TV, and advertising.
