BERKLEE ABU DHABI INTENSIVE WORKSHOP - Songwriter-Producer Collaboration Workshop with Miklos Malek

This intensive 10-hour workshop brings together music producers, songwriters, and vocalists in a collaborative environment designed to explore contemporary songwriting and music production practices. Led by acclaimed producer, songwriter, and educator Miklos Malek (Jennifer Lopez, Ariana Grande, Yanni), participants will engage in the creative process from sound creation and music production to songwriting, recording, and mixing.
Drawing on a creative methodology that Miklos has facilitated with artists and students internationally, the workshop emphasizes collaboration, experimentation, and hands-on learning. Participants will collectively generate original musical material using vocal ensembles, harmonies, beatboxing, and body percussion, which will then be transformed into a custom sample pack. Producers will use these sounds to create original tracks that become the foundation for collaborative songwriting sessions with vocalists and songwriters.
The workshop culminates in a professional recording session of a selected composition, providing participants with direct exposure to contemporary production workflows and industry-standard creative practices. Through the process, participants gain practical experience in songwriting, production, recording, and artistic collaboration while developing original musical works.
