Helping Zurich’s Music Creators Build Skills That Compete Internationally

Why PopLab Exists and Why It’s Different

PopLab Zurich was created to support a new generation of music creators in Switzerland (artists, producers, and songwriters) with practical, professional tools to grow creatively and have an understanding of the global music industry. While Switzerland is full of talent, many musicians don’t have access to modern, real-world music education that connects creativity, production, and career strategy. Whether you're aiming for global release success or just wanting to understand music business we’re here to bridge that gap.

Through individual classes and long-term development paths in songwriting, production, artist development, music marketing and music business, we give you the structure, feedback, and direction needed to move forward with purpose.

PopLab is built for artists, songwriters, and producers who want more than lessons . Those who want clarity, progress, and momentum. Everything is shaped around your sound, your goals, and the realities of today’s music industry.

We believe strong ideas and creativity deserve the chance to become real careers and we work closely with a limited number of creators to help make that happen.

About our selection process

We work selectively with motivated creators where we see clear commitment and potential for growth. Our selection process ensures a focused environment and meaningful progress for everyone involved. As part of the process, we ask you to briefly explain why you’re motivated and what you want to achieve, and to submit a piece of your music: finished track, demo, or voice memo.
Not every application is accepted; this allows us to maintain our standards and ensure PopLab is the right fit, for you and for us.

Built for ASPIRING artists, songwriters and producers

We connect songwriting, production, mixing, and promotion into one coherent process, so you understand how music is actually created, released, and grown today.
Focused lessons are available, but our core mission is to help you see and master the full system behind a professional music career.

Producers

We teach producers how to work in the real world - creatively, professionally, and in today’s music industry.

At PopLab, our coaching goes beyond sound design or DAW techniques. We focus on the skills producers actually need: understanding artists, shaping songs, guiding arrangements, and making creative decisions that serve the music beyond the studio. Alongside production, you’ll learn the music business skills needed to navigate the industry at a professional level.

Whether you’re producing for yourself or others, this broader skill set helps you operate with confidence, credibility, and purpose.

Artists

We work exclusively with artists who write, shape, or produce their own music and want to move it forward.

At PopLab, we believe that understanding the music industry is essential to building a sustainable career. We help artists turn ideas into finished releases, develop their sound, and gain the business and strategic knowledge needed to release and grow their music at current industry standards.

If you feel stuck or unsure how to take the next step, we’ll help you build clarity, momentum, and a clear path forward — creatively and professionally.

Songwriters

Great songs go further when you understand how they’re shaped, produced, and positioned in the real world.

At PopLab, our songwriter sessions go beyond lyrics and melodies. We help you write at a high, international radio standard while developing structure, musical direction, and production awareness so your ideas become finished tracks.

You’ll learn how to write not just for yourself, but for different artists and genres, understanding what makes songs work across styles and markets. Alongside the creative work, you’ll learn how songwriting functions as a career — building versatility, collaboration skills, and long-term momentum in today’s music industry.

Hands-on music creation courses, tailored to you

Our offer for your personalised experience

At PopLab Zürich, all coaching sits under one clear goal: long-term creator and/or artist development. You can choose to focus on specific areas such as: songwriting, production or music marketing and more — or follow a longer-term development path that connects all of them into one coherent process.

Every session is individual, hands-on, and shaped around your goals, your level, and where you want to go. We help you build the creative, professional, and industry skills needed to move forward with clarity and momentum.
