The f(LAWS) of SONGA
Rules can be broken, LAWS cannot.
The LAWS of SONGA outline the culture of behaviors we expect, encourage and discourage after you cross the portal into The WORLD of SONGA.
Talk with each other, not about each other. (#1)
Gossip breaks what music builds. At Songa, the moment you’re tempted to vent sideways, speak directly and go straight to the source. Talk to connect, not to divide. That’s how we keep the harmony alive.
Play along. Find the surprising star in you. (#2)
The spotlight isn’t earned by standing out. It’s shared by showing up. At Songa, you shine brightest when you make space, say yes, and stay open. Play along. You may find your star was never missing but waiting to be discovered.
There are no mistakes in Songa. Improvise. (#3)
At Songa, the only mistake is holding back. The best ideas often grow from mistakes. When you show up as your truest self, everything belongs. Even the mess. What feels off key might be the most honest note you’ve ever played.
Quick is slow. Even is fast. (#4)
A great band doesn’t rush—it locks into the groove. In art, in business, in life: consistency is the drumbeat others can play along to. Speed without rhythm breaks things. And people. At Songa, we move with trust and timing. Set the beat first. Then let the tempo rise. That’s how you build something that lasts.
Don’t just be vulnerable, be real. (#5)
Vulnerability means discomfort. Sharing your art—or your heart—before it’s ready is brave. True vulnerability is being honest and open, and letting others be honest with you. It’s not about who hurts the loudest, but who listens long enough to change.
Leave your name and fame behind. (#6)
We play together as peers. If you’re famous, this is your chance to become a beginner again—to experiment with a new art form, identity, or genre.
Love equally in your relationships, from beginning to end. (#7)
It’s easy to love at the beginning of a relationship, and harder at the end. If we part ways, it’s our duty to one another to share openly and honestly why so that each party can learn and grow.
Label behavior, not people. (#8)
We name the behavior, not the person—because behavior can change. Labels shrink what’s possible. The most limiting ones are often the ones we give ourselves. Many of the categories we live inside were created for systems, not souls. They aren’t life sentences. They’re starting points.
Make requests, not complaints. (#9)
Complaints punish. Requests invite. Instead of pointing out what’s wrong, ask for what would help. Would you be open to starting something new—or letting something go? Leave space for a no. Or for a better idea. That’s how honesty becomes healing.
No drugs. No alcohol. No divas. (#10)
This isn’t a party. It’s a portal. We stay clear, grounded, and available. The only high we chase is connection. If you’re here to escape reality, this isn’t your stage. But if you’re here to create a new one, you just might be a star.
We don’t cancel. We postpone. (#11)
Making art is messy. People are, too. We don’t cancel each other—we cool off, we recalibrate, we leave the door open. At some point, everyone forgets their lines or storms offstage. But the show isn’t over until the curtain drops. Leave the drama on stage. Offstage, we make room for repair.
🎧 Quick listen: why we cool off instead of cutting off.
And the most important f(law):
HAVE. SERIOUS. FUN.
Songa is not a workplace, it’s a funplace, where deep work happens. We are an entertainment company, and if we are not entertaining ourselves, then how can we expect others to be entertained.
