WAY UP
La iniciativa de Yamaha para descubrir nuevos talentos nos presenta artistas emergentes y nueva música.
EPISODE 1: WRITING & COMPOSING
6 upcoming artists who haven’t met before, arrive at the House of Talents in Barcelona. They form teams of two and start their mission to create songs in three days, leading up to a final performance of their work in an intimate concert. The first episode captures the beginning of this creative journey, from the artists getting to know each other, to start writing lyrics and composing melodies.

EPISODE 3: FINAL PERFORMANCE
On the final day in the House of Talents the artists get ready to perform their individual songs that they have been working on the past days. In an intimate concert they showcase their results in front of each other.
