We connect Canadian artists with the music industries of the Asia-Pacific — through showcases, songwriting camps, and collaboration that outlasts the trip.
Who we are
Homecoming is an international initiative connecting music creators across borders. Our camps bring together producers, songwriters, artists, and industry mentors. Through collaboration, education, and cultural exchange we help develop global music ecosystems.
We work at the point where culture, creativity, and commerce meet — strengthening the ties between Canadian artists and their countries of origin, and opening markets that would otherwise stay closed to them.

Each mission pairs Canadian creators with local industry on the ground — not a one-off performance, but days of writing, meetings, and relationships that keep working after everyone flies home.
Our first camp, bringing Filipino music creatives together in Toronto for three days of writing. The starting point for everything since.
With Universal Music Canada · Warner Chappell Canada · Vlvt Tree Publishing
A three-day camp bringing Filipino music creatives from Canada, the United States, Australia, and the Philippines into the same room — built around cultural connection and finding the common ground inside the music itself.
A four-city tour across the Philippines with Canadian artists, including radio guestings — putting the music in front of Filipino audiences and programmers directly rather than through a distributor.
A return to Manila, this time pointed at North American sync — writing songs built to place, without giving up the cultural collaboration the camps are known for.
The first major K-pop songwriting camp held in Toronto. We flew in a Korean label A&R executive to sit in the room for all three days, so the writing happened against real briefs rather than guesses about the market.
With Warner Chappell · SOCAN
A camp built to empower Asian music creatives, timed to land alongside the Vancouver Asian Film Festival's 20th anniversary conference — which put our writers in the same building as the Asian film industry for the week.
With SOCAN · Vancouver Asian Film Festival
A showcase and songwriting camp built around four Canadian artists establishing their identity in the Philippine market. Canadian showcase at Electric Sala in Makati, a delegation presence at SONIK Philippines, and a three-day camp at Hit Productions pairing Canadian and Filipino creators.
