Tulsa International Songwriting Exchange (TISE) is a pilot initiative exploring creative connection through co-writing, with a focus on artistic trust across genres and backgrounds. The first event, TISE Topline Challenge, is a weekend songwriting experience for Tulsa-based topliners - artists who write vocal melodies, lyrics, and phrasing over instrumental tracks. Participants will attend a lyric workshop and then form groups to create original melodies and lyrics over the same track. With on-site coaching and demo support from a guest producer, the weekend ends in a group listening session, highlighting the unique interpretations and collaborative spirit of each team.
