Varun Parikh To Host Multi-Grammy Winner Sylvia Massy For Exclusive Song Production Masterclass

Abbey Road Institute Mumbai has announced a premium Song Production Masterclass featuring globally acclaimed multi-Grammy-winning producer-engineer Sylvia Massy. The five-day programme will be held from July 22 to July 26, 2026, at Bay Owl Studios.

The hands-on masterclass is aimed at serious creators, emerging producers and early-career music professionals, offering participants direct exposure to real-world production and engineering practices. The programme is designed to move beyond theoretical instruction and focus on practical studio-led learning environments.

According to the institute, the masterclass will cover key aspects of contemporary music production, including tone development, tracking techniques, mix workflows and delivery standards through collaborative recording sessions.

Varun Parikh said the initiative reflects the institute’s effort to bridge the gap between education and industry practice.

“At Abbey Road Institute Mumbai, our focus has always been on bridging the gap between learning and real-world practice. Hosting Sylvia Massy is a significant milestone for us and for the larger music community in India. This masterclass is designed to give participants direct exposure to global production standards, workflows, and decision-making processes that are rarely accessible in traditional learning environments,” Parikh said.

Massy, known for her work with several internationally recognised artists and bands, said she looks forward to collaborating with creators in India and sharing her production approach.

“I’m excited to work closely with creators in India and explore how we can push the boundaries of sound and storytelling together. Great production is not just about technique—it’s about experimentation, instinct, and finding unique ways to bring a song to life. I look forward to sharing my process and learning from the energy of this community,” she said.

The programme will run in an immersive multi-session recording environment, giving participants practical insight into modern production workflows and creative decision-making processes used in professional studios.

Abbey Road Institute Mumbai also stated that the initiative presents opportunities for brands to engage with a curated community of music creators and professionals. With limited seats and a practice-oriented format, the masterclass is positioned as one of the more exclusive music production learning experiences scheduled in India this year.
