Songwriting for teams, Berlin

The Sound
of You.

A team-building day where your team writes and records its own song, built from the sounds of your office and the stories only your team could tell.

Every team has its own sound.

The way you talk, the jokes you share, the noise your office makes on a Tuesday afternoon. That’s your team’s sound, and nobody else does it like you!

In one day, we turn it into a song. Your workplace becomes the beat, your stories become the lyrics, and every voice in the room ends up on the record.

You leave with something real: a song that captures your team spirit, made by the people who live it. Part creative workshop, part team bonding, and a lot of fun.

How the day works

One day, four stages. We bring all the gear and run the whole thing. Your team brings the ideas.

  1. 1

    Hunt for sounds, build the beat

    Small teams head out with recorders to capture your workplace: the coffee machine, keyboards, doors, the lift. We turn those sounds into the groove of your song, live in the room.

  2. 2

    Write the song

    Guided lyric writing in small groups, drawing on real moments from your team. Then we pull the best lines together into verses and a chorus.

  3. 3

    Sing and record

    Solos for the brave, a big group chorus for everyone. We coach every voice so it sounds great on the record.

  4. 4

    Listening party

    We play back the rough mix together. Then we finish and mix the song properly and send it to the whole team.

Why it works as team building

Writing a song together uses the same muscles as good teamwork, without anyone noticing they’re working on it.

What your team leaves with

  • Your own song, finished and mixed, sent to the whole team after the day
  • Every voice on it, from the CEO to the newest intern
  • A beat made from your workplace, so it could only ever be yours
  • A day people still talk about months later
  • Optional extras, like your song pressed on vinyl or a music video of the day

Your host

Hi, I’m Ben.

I’m a songwriter and producer with 100M+ streams, and a course leader at BIMM University Berlin. I’ve spent my career getting great songs out of people in a room, and I’ve been lucky enough to work with some very cool people:

  • Woodkid
  • Lily Allen
  • The Shoes
  • Satin Jackets
  • Remme
  • Valentina
  • Todd Terry

Questions

Do we need any musical experience?

None at all. Most teams have never written a song. We guide every step, and there are jobs for everyone.

Does everyone have to sing?

No. Everyone can join the big group chorus, and solos are only for people who want them.

Won’t it be cringe?

Not if we do our job. We steer away from forced rhymes and corporate buzzwords and towards real moments, inside jokes and a song that actually sounds good.

We’re bigger than 15 people. Can we still do it?

Yes. For larger groups we bring extra hosts and run several writing groups that come together for the final song. Get in touch and we’ll plan it with you.

What do we need to provide?

A meeting room or open space with power sockets, and your team. We bring everything else.

Can we do it outside our office?

Yes. We can run it at an offsite venue or in a studio, and we’ll bring a few sound ideas if your venue is quiet.

What language is it in?

Sessions run in English, and your lyrics can be in any language your team likes.

When do we get the song?

You hear a rough mix at the end of the day, and the finished song arrives within [X] days.

Zero to Song

Never written a song? Leave with one.

Got a melody that won’t leave your brain? In four 1-to-1 sessions we turn it into a real song, written by you, and record a demo you can play to everyone you know.
