Pristina Lights Up with Music: Songwriting Camp 2025

Published: 4 Aug 2025

Together with Musikmakarna, the Songwriting Camp has once again filled Pristina with music, creativity, and pure inspiration. Now in its third year, the camp keeps growing – and so does the energy surrounding it.

The camp has become a place where young artists from Kosovo can dream big, create together, and connect with the world.

Special Guests Who Made It Unforgettable

This year felt especially meaningful thanks to the incredible guests who joined:

Dua Lipa, founder of the Sunny Hill Foundation, who continues to champion Kosovo’s next generation.
Klas and Anki Bergling, representing the Avicii Foundation and carrying forward a legacy of meaning, impact, and inspiration.

Founder and principal of Musikmakarna Ulla Sjöström was also present at the camp, whose vision continues to inspire and empower future talents.

From Ideas to Songs

The participants were mentored by Ida Johansson and Christoffer Jonsson – both former Musikmakarna students – who guided the groups in turning creative ideas into songs we can’t wait to hear.

A Creative Home in Pristina

A heartfelt thank you goes to Florent Boshnjaku and Dreamhouse Studios for their support and for providing the perfect space for creativity to thrive.

We are also proud that the Songwriting Camp takes place during the Sunny Hill Festival week – a celebration of music, culture, and Kosovo’s creative spirit that brings the whole city alive.
