Musical collaborations, built through relationships, for the sake of building artists' careers and harmonious communities.
THE MISSION of The House of Songs is to unite musicians from across the world, fostering creative harmony through cross-cultural collaborations, creative processes and shared performances.
THOS was founded in 2009 when two musicians from opposite ends of the globe connected by chance in a far-flung Danish island. Attempting to write songs together for the first time, they embraced the vulnerability and spontaneity of “what if” and ignited a spark. From that spark history was made, albums were written, hit songs yielded Gold certification sales numbers, and an idea to create a space for magic was born. Fifteen years later, artists from 33 countries have joined together at the House of Songs, building relationships which have led to once in a lifetime co-writing collaborations. The resulting music is shared across fan groups, breaking down international borders and creating cross-cultural harmony.
Today, THOS exists all over the world, but primarily in Austin, TX, and Bentonville, AR, where we maintain two inviting homes for the purpose songwriting retreats, collaborative spaces, and showcase stages to build community around the beauty of music.
THE NEED, and purpose of this community giving campaign, is to fill financial gaps left by passing storms and the shift of grant funding. Our goal is to raise $150,000 by the end of the year to continue the work of supporting artists' careers, building musical infrastructure in and beyond our two communities, and creating bridges of peace worldwide through music.
