Presenting Australia’s first “mentally healthy” songwriting program.

Proudly presented by The Real Songwriters of Melbourne and Listen Up Music.

Following a phenomenal response to its 2024 Melbourne pilot program, Illuminate is set to return to Melbourne and debut in new locations: Sydney and Brisbane.

Illuminate is a groundbreaking event that redefines the songwriting experience. Through collaboration, connection, and practicing positive mental health habits, Illuminate offers a unique opportunity for songwriters to grow, create, and thrive in an inspiring and nurturing environment.

But, Illuminate is not just about the music; it is committed towards fostering positive mental health practices in the music industry.

Throughout the day, participants will take part in curated mental health and artist development workshops, designed to equip them with the tools they need to thrive both in their craft and their lives.

Illuminate welcomes songwriters, topliners and producers of all ages and abilities to be a part of this new and exciting event. Only 30 spots will be available per event.
