The Aoteroa Music Producer Series (AMPS) launched in 2017 and has become an integral part of upskilling Aotearoa’s production sector. The series has attracted the participation of some formidable international producers including: Andrew Scheps, Sylvia Massy, David Wrench, Gil Norton, Romesh Dodangoda, Dave Eringa, and Mark Rankin.

In 2020 we introduced the AMPS music producer workshops - a series of 10 one-day production seminars held at Roundhead Studios in Auckland which included: Bic Runga, Josh Fountain, Estère, Simon Gooding, Sam de Jong, Rory Noble and Lee Prebble.

The daily workshops by a selection of Aotearoa’s most experienced producers, which will be announced closer to each event, will consist of the technical breakdowns of multitrack recordings, discussion of production techniques and workflows, artist motivation, producer mental health and the paths to a sustainable career. Getting highly skilled producers across the country, along with a drive to increase diversity within the sector, are the major focus of AMPS 2021.

This year will include a presentation by the Music Producers Guild, Recorded Music NZ and APRA AMCOS NZ on contracts and royalties specifically impacting the production sector.

The Aotearoa Music Producer Series is presented by Recorded Music New Zealand and the Music Producers Guild of NZ / Aotearoa with support from the New Zealand Music Commission, NZ On Air, SAE Auckland, Auckland UNESCO City of Music and APRA AMCOS NZ.
