An online masterclass for young creatives aged 16 to 30, delivered in partnership with Warner Chappell Music.

How do you balance writing multi-platinum hits for global superstars with building your own solo project? Meet Sevn Dayz.

Splitting his time between London and LA, Sevn has penned massive tracks for K-Pop royalty (EXO, NCT Dream) and Pop/R&B giants (Dua Lipa, Victoria Monét). He’s also a cutting-edge solo R&B artist, whose heartbreak-fueled EP Baptized In My Tears is out now. In this Q&A, Sevn breaks down navigating high-stakes studio sessions, writing for global markets, and keeping your artistic voice authentic.
