24.01.2022 Are you a musician or in any way involved with the music industry in Australia? As you may know, the OZ music industry is underrepresented in support and policy.

We are asking you to please take part in this USC survey about your industry involvement and how COVID-19 has affected your practice and partnerships. This data will help develop a clearer picture of mu...sic in Australia and guide future representation of our sector. The more people take part, the better the picture we get.

In a recent chat, she shared that #SongHubs played a part in her creative process.... I hadnt been able to write songs that either I or anyone else liked until I went to LA and participated in Screen SongHubs. I originally applied to increase my connections and relationships in the world of screen composition which helps sustain my life, career and well basically pay my mortgage." "Instead I was introduced to a whole new world of collaborators and the inspiration for this album came from all those pieces coming together and from the calibre of creators and the SongHubs environment that lead to my first release in 6 years that I truly love and am incredibly proud. This would not have happened had it not been for SongHubs! Congrats, Megan
