"Inside Radical Songwriting Academy you are just getting right into the core of what’s really necessary in terms of songwriting and songcraft. If you want to explore your creativity and tap into your self expression then this is the way to do it. ”

It’s completely normal to feel a bit lost on your songwriting journey.

Many aspiring songwriters share the same fears and frustrations, whether it's uncertainty about where to begin or doubts about their abilities.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common roadblocks that might be holding you back from writing the songs you’ve always dreamed of.

😩 Lost in the Details

You feel overwhelmed by everything you don’t know about songwriting.

😩 Doubting Yourself

You worry that your ideas aren’t good enough and don't feel confident in the 'next right thing' to do.

😩 Fear of Failing

The pressure to "write good songs" makes you freeze on the spot, halting progress and eroding your creativity over time.

If you’re nodding your head in agreement whilst also worrying if you can REALLY do this, keep reading...

Radical Songwriting Academy will guide you one step at a time from feeling lost and unsure to confident and inspired to create the music you know you have inside you.

By the end of this program you will have:

Hey songwriter

I'm Rosie 👋

I see you, songwriter—gathering mountains of song fragments, gigabytes of voice notes, and new ideas for albums, all while dreaming of performing your music to audiences who sing back your lyrics.

Yet, when you finally sit down to write, you can't get past the second verse.

With a clear framework to build on your songwriting skills and develop your unique voice, you can finally finish those songs and turn your dreams into reality.

I understand the struggle of facing writer's block and feeling utterly alone in the creative process. Even after earning a songwriting degree and studying music for six years, I didn’t take my artistry seriously until I created my own structured approach.

While it’s common to experience a lack of confidence or feel stuck, the Radical Songwriting Academy is here to provide the guidance you need. I want you to feel excited and proud of your music. This program, tested by over 100 successful songwriters, offers the support you need to ensure you’re never alone on this journey.

Success looks different for everyone, but in the Radical Songwriting Academy, it means completing your original songs, feeling good about your work, and developing a consistent routine that brings joy to your life.

Forget the outdated notion that you need fame or followers to validate your creativity. What matters is genuine expression—sharing your personal stories and emotions.

If you’re tired of running in circles and want to make real progress in your songwriting, join Radical Songwriting Academy today.

Start your journey toward becoming the songwriter you know you can be!

Bob Frederick, Radical Songwriting Academy Student

"Since Radical Songwriting Academy I'm completing songs, collaborating with other songwriters and musicians and actually using my own voice during recording sessions! I'm now more confident in my songwriting than I ever was before."

Jasmin O'Davidson, Radical Songwriting Academy Student

It has been played in two Radio stations and I'm now working on my second single with a third one in the making.

"RSA has helped me in my artistry and life view tremendously. The course lets you experiment and open up all the different avenues to access your creativity in songwriting and music. It’s a refreshing and validating experience, not just a workshop."

Tamsin Middleton

"Radical Songwriting Academy has given me more confidence to try out ideas and not worry about the outcome. It reminded me that it's a process that takes time, given me new tools to get unstuck and different approaches for my songwriting but most of all reminded me that songwriting can be fun!

Fee MacKenzie

The course helped me find new avenues to access my songwriting and I'm so much more open to trying stuff out now that I have more knowledge and tools.  Now I can always go back into the material and be reminded of such a huge variety of topics - to have that resource is really wonderful!

Patricia Manning

"The course helped me be confident enough to write my own songs, learn about music and songwriting and start honing my skills.  For me, this is a slow process, but it has changed my life. Writing songs also makes me happier and more balanced. Songwriting with the RSA and Rosie has been a lifeline for me: I wrote my best song so far with the help of Rosie and I am looking forward to many more in the future!"

Michael Asquith

"I now understand myself better as a creative and have built confidence in sharing and talking online. I realised through the course that mindset is everything, and it’s always changing, so you just have to have the awareness to recognise which cycle you are in. I’ve learned to take a step back when it’s needed and to cultivate flow as the priority with my music."

Graham McDonald Taylor

"I had taken a few workshops with Rosie before so I knew I was signing up for a well-structured and inspiring course. So there was no change, but confirmation about how valuable a resource RSA is and how knowledgeable Rosie really is. During the program I really recognised and developed my songwriting skills."

Lillian Legendre

"During RSA I grew a LOT in terms of self-confidence, self-trust, and self-love. The tools for melody, harmony, and lyrics writing were definitely a huge help! I will gladly continue using them. The chord notebook has been sitting on my piano ever since I started!”

Andi

"During the course I wrote some new songs and gained tools for making melodies.  I also realised that It's ok to break the mold and try new things even if they're out of your comfort zone! I am glad I dedicated this time to my songwriting."
