I have been a Songsalive!® member for quite a few years. I’ve appreciated the many different Guest Speakers with their wide variety of music industry information and experience. The song critiques are often helpful, especially the input from attending members. Songsalive has been wonderful for networking, plus I’ve made some now very dear friends. I certainly recommend this songwriting organization. - Nancy Kelel, songwriter. |
25 Year History
Gilli Moon, President, Songsalive!
Co-founded by Gilli Moon and Roxanne Kiely, Songsalive! ® was officially launched on June 4, 1997 in Sydney, Australia, as a voluntary not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the nurturing, support, promotion and exposure of Australian songwriters to the world’s music markets. Since its beginnings, Songsalive! has been run by songwriters for songwriters, acting as an epicenter, a heart, of the songwriting business in Australia and bridges the gaps between national and international songwriting opportunities.
The success of the organization in Australia led Gilli Moon to take the Songsalive! concept to the United States in 1999 where she built an International volunteer team and resulting in a string of chapters through the U.S.A (LA, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Seattle, Phoenix, Austin, Canada (Calgary, Vancouver) and Europe (Amsterdam, London). Meanwhile, Roxanne Kiely continued to lead the Australian chapters.
One of the driving events behind Songsalive!'s International success was Gilli Moon's Songsalive! Expo in 2002, (co-produced with Jimi Yamagishi and Paul Lawrence Moyer) at UCLA, Los Angeles, attracting 1000 songwriters and music industry representatives together over a packed 2 day weekend of songwriting panels, workshops, exhibitions, showcases and a songcamp.
In 2007, Gilli was invited to speak by Koda to a group of elite songwriters and songwriting clubs in Denmark, from which inspired a chapter in Scandinavia; as well as her motivational speaking at music conferences (she is also an artist, songwriter, author and speaker), brought new Chapter start up interest from even further global reaches: Papua New Guinea, Toronto CA and South Africa.
In May 2011, Songsalive! Australia, a new autonomous organization, under Roxanne and Stephen Kiely's direction was created, to cater exclusively to the Australian market. Songsalive! continues to cater to the benefit of Australian songwriters traveling or wishing to pursue their music careers abroad, through specialized programs we can offer them, and continues to cater to songwriters and composers around the world.
In 2018, Gilli took the next natural step in Songsalive!'s evolution and launched a Mobile App to allow members to take Songsalive! with them on-the-go. Available for iOS and Android, the app offers access to the members' backstage from phone (and also, still desktop), featuring the ability to gain all our programs, daily song critiques, song pitches, and each other via social interaction, instantaneously. Songsalive! has become a truly global community of songwriters and composers and your fingertips.
Songsalive!, a global songwriter nation, continues to be overseen by Gilli Moon as President, based in Los Angeles CA; plus our hard working volunteer team spread across the world.
