AUDIOIKO, the Paraguayan-born DJ, producer and composer, has earned fame in his native country and even gone viral worldwide for his unofficial remix of Carla Morrison’s “Disfruto.” Fast forward to recent years and the Miami local has shown love to his roots with a radio show broadcasted in Paraguay, played festivals like Road to Ultra and Life in Color and recently dropped “Porque Te Vas,” a collaboration with Arely Vega and Redemm. Going into the experience, AUDIOIKO honed in on his songwriting craft, exploring the different points a view one can take when writing.
Billboard and Burger King have teamed up to announce “La Próxima Generación” Songwriter’s Academy, an experience led by Camilo, Edgar Barerra and Elena Rose, who helped rising musicians rule their beat and live authentically as storytellers within the music space.
The mentorship program, which launched in conjunction with Hispanic Heritage Month, saw the Colombian chart-topper spearhead the Songwriter’s Academy, alongside Barerra and Rose. During the experience, the trio guided five acts through two days of activities to learn from each other, share feedback on demo recordings and, ultimately, create community. The sessions took place at prominent creative hubs in the Burger King brand’s hometown of Miami, including Criteria Recording Studios and Studio 5020 Miami, and will come to life through a two-episode rollout, which will be shared throughout Billboard Latin Music Week on Billboard.com and social accounts.
