Music, creativity, and community took centre stage at the 2026 edition of Indie Vibe House Party’s At Home Together Creators’ Retreat, where artists and industry voices spent three days collaborating, connecting, and creating new music.
The retreat featured recording sessions, themed activities like Paint & Sip and movie night, and conversations with voices across music, film, and pop culture, including music journalist Joey Akan and Nollywood actor and director Paul Utomi, who shared insights from their respective fields.
Beyond the activities and conversations, participants worked on new records during the camp. The music is currently being developed into a project slated for release, with more details to come.
For Nathalie Wemambu, the founder of Indie Vibe House Party, the retreat was inspired by a desire to give independent creatives a space to make music, build meaningful relationships, and recharge away from the pressures of the industry.
“I wanted to build a nurturing, cozy ‘second home’ where creators can decompress, showcase and create their live music, find organic mentorship, and form deep, collaborative bonds,” she shared.
That vision also informs the retreat’s substance-free environment, which prioritises wellness and encourages artists to create from a place of clarity and genuine connection.
Beyond the retreat, Indie Vibe House Party continues to support independent creatives through live music experiences, recording camps, creative retreats, and collaborative projects. The collective also welcomes partnerships and collaborations with individuals, brands, and organisations looking to create meaningful experiences across music, film, events, and the wider creative industry.
For bookings, partnerships, and collaborations, interested parties can reach out to Indie Vibe House Party via email or social media.
With the 2026 retreat behind them and its musical project in development, Indie Vibe House Party is building on the connections and creativity fostered during the experience. At Home Together was only the beginning.
