History
The Elements Music Camp is a project of 7101 Music Nation, an organization under the Tao Corporation community of companies. It was formed by Tao Corp.’s president, Julio D. Sy Jr., and music industry veterans Maestro Ryan Cayabyab and Twinky Lagdameo in 2010.

The aim of the Camp—which has trained some of the music business’ best and brightest in recent years—is to gather aspiring and professional singers and songwriters from all over the country and provide them with a venue to learn, collaborate, interact and create music in a natural setting.

From 2010-2014 the camp took place in Bahura Resort, Dauin, Dumaguete City and in 2015, due to the closure of flights for the ASEAN Meeting, was relocated at Kuh Ledesma's Haciena Isabela.
