The Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camp will be coming to the English speaking Caribbean for the first time.
Twenty of the regions emerging music prodigies, mostly from Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, will meet for a stimulating encounter "exploring music beyond the beat" at Geejam studios in Port Antonio, Portland this weekend.
They will focus on creative collaborations, production info sessions, techniques of rhythm production, and have jam sessions.
The workshops are to be anchored by some of the industry’s most prolific stalwarts including Mikey Bennett, head of Grafton Studios, Jeremy Harding, top producer and Sawandi Simon, a Red Bull Music Academy past student.
Expected to unfold over two days, the budding DJs, producers, musicians, songwriters, sound engineers and bedroom MCs will gather for an experience on musical knowledge and sharing.
The Red Bull Music Academy Bass Camps are held across the globe as a lead up to the International Music Academy series.
What is also unique about this creative hub is that the Academy touches down in a different host country each year.
The 2011 Academy will be held in Tokyo, Japan in November.
