VINX Virtual Workshop Series

When the pandemic struck and the world paused, Vinx knew your creativity had to continue, so we took his creative teaching online.

VINX's Creativity Series is a monthly online program for anyone wishing to ignite their inner creative spark.

New sessions begin on the first Sunday of every month and run every week.

Register at any time, but to guarantee your space, reserve now!

"One of the most important activities for creative thinking is the sharing of resources and mentorship. Together we can conquer your obstacles or nemesis. Our goal is to enhance and respectfully sustain the craft of songwriting and all creativity. The path to your creative spark is the same whether you are a world class musician or a world class architect.

To do this we need more than just musical talent. We need to join with the great minds of organisers and technical builders to help fill in. Those of us who lean to the left with our creative dream brain need a little balance from our right brain brothers and sisters. What i am saying is that everyone has a place in this endeavour. PLEASE join us"

VINX

Monthly Goal

We are building our library of triggers to give you access to your creative spark. Every Sunday VINX will present a new exercise for the week to help you access your inner creative.

These exercises provide keys to the doors and walls that we all create around our most intimate self. The freedom to open these doors and restock your library and your pantry is where your power lies! My goal is to give you permission to give yourself permission to be amazing!

“If you have not as an individual songwriter or a group met with Vinx on your song DO IT! There is one thing I have learned through experience: if you care about your craft and want to nurture it to the best of your ability and have the opportunity to have someone who is a MASTER, like Vinx, look at your work, you save yourself time, aggravation and probably money in the long run.” - Heather Kim Rodriguez (Hedda Kim) - Las Vegas USA

“"Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities within my story. I am re-energized" - Libor H., CZ ”
