Hear from our Members

  • "From its inception, RSOM has been a platform to encourage, empower and uplift songwriters. RSOM has given me and so many other songwriters alike the opportunity to connect with creatives that we might not have ever met and make music that has meant so much."

    Abbey Stone

  • "It's beautiful to be a part of the RSOM Community. It keeps us motivated to keep working on our music and it's nice to be able to reach out to anyone and to pick you up when you're feeling down. That is the best part about this Community."

    Connor and Oscar Absolum, Mister Co.

  • "Through the RSOM, I found the confidence in me to work on my original music and take steps to perform at many great venues around Melbourne. Music is a lifelong journey and so much has happened in a short amount of time."

    Kieran J Phillips

  • "I’ve been a member of Real Songwriters of Melbourne for almost two years, and it’s had a profound impact on my songwriting journey. The warmth of the community and the chance to talk deeply about craft with such a diverse group of writers has been both inspiring and incredibly affirming."

    Gary Hubber

  • "RSOM really helped me feel connected. When I first joined up I was living out in a border town between Victoria and NSW. I knew no one in the Melbourne music scene and did not have any connections. Fast forward to today and I’m collaborating with many, am co-writing songs and even had a crack at producing/remixing. I don’t think any of this would have been possible without RSOM."

    DL Gade

  • ""I became a member because the world of songwriting and performing can be so lonely and it's nice to know that there are others out there, especially the support of Jena when it comes to your individual journey."

    Lily Jones

  • “Joining gave me the space to start doing Open Mic’s and get past that fear of performing.”

    Paul, Ventry.
