The Wip Round

Join us for The WIP Round, a Nashville style songwriter circle designed to spotlight the raw, real, and resonant sides of songwriting.

Hosted at the intimate MAP Studio Cafe in London, this event brings together three featured artists plus our host in a round-style format. Across three rounds, each performer shares original material, songs written for others, and works-in-progress offering a rare, behind-the-scenes look into their creative process.

More than just a gig, The WIP Round is a space for building community. It’s a night where songwriters can test out new ideas, musicians can connect and collaborate, and audiences can experience songwriting in its most honest form.

Whether you’re showcasing your work, looking to meet fellow creatives, or just love discovering music at its roots, come and be part of something real.

Info: Nina Sundstrom is a London-based songwriter with a clear and promising future. Nina’s versatility is evident, penning works across Pop, Folk, Singer-Songwriter Country, K-pop & EDM, as well as commissioned works for musicals, advert campaigns, and a cappella groups. That said, her early musical education on the York open mic circuit ensures that heartfelt lyricism is maintained as a through line for every song. Nina was awarded the Develop Your Creative Practice Grant from Arts Council England, which funded a writing residency in Nashville, including writing sessions at Warner Chappell and performances at the Listening Room and the Bluebird Cafe. Nina has a respect for the sanctity of the studio and an emotional assiduity with others that is rare and desperately needed, and is unequivocally one to watch over the coming years.
