International reps
Australasian songwriters and composers are making a splash on the global stage, and we’re here to help our members who are living, touring or earning royalties overseas.
Our international reps aim to provide opportunities, exposure and recognition for our members by hosting events, creating networks and sharing vital local knowledge. You'll find Isabella Kearney-Nurse in Nashville, and over in London, Jess Cantlon is there to support you in the UK and Europe.
Did you know that we have creative and business spaces available to members in Los Angeles, Nashville and London? Whether it's writing rooms or studio space or a hot desk, if you've relocated, or you're making a flying visit, we can provide access to spaces on a short-term basis. Contact Isabella or Jess to enquire about availability.
