L.A. and London Residential

If you are going to London or Los Angeles for sessions, meetings or other projects, you can apply for a stay in one of the houses in these two cities.

Working accommodation in London and LA is available for songwriters, composers, lyricists and producers in the popular and commercial fields. DPA supports working residencies in the two cities for meetings, co-writing, networking and creating new music. The project should involve collaborators who can promote the export of the music.

Support for flights and other transport costs such as trains can also be applied for.

You cannot receive support for the same project from several pools under Koda Culture. This applies according to 6.D in our regulation. Find the regulation here.

This means that if you for example apply for publication, you can only receive support once for your publishing project. You cannot receive support for publication from both The Publishing pool, The Up-and-Coming Grant and The Recording/Release Grant at the same time. On the other hand, you will be able to receive support for other processes of the same project from other pools. For example, if you have received support for the recording/release part of your project, you can apply for support for the next phase of your project, e.g. for promoting your release or from the PR pools.

We have pools that support the different processes that your project can go through. The processes can – from an overall point of view – be divided into:

• Create (idea, clarification, writing)
• Improve/develop (coaching, camps, education)
• Release (record, mix, master)
• Disseminate' (PR/marketing, concert production, fairs and exhibitions)

Only Koda members can apply for these one-week stays in L.A. or London. We welcome both songwriters, composers and producers working with the popular and commercial field of music.

What you must include in your application:

• A project description
• A budget
• Documentation proving your collaboration/interaction with partners in L.A. or London (this may take the form of an email conversation, a Facebook conversation, etc.)
• All applications for the L.A. and London Residential scheme must be associated with a specific project/purpose and specific collaborators/partners.
