created and run by an industry professional  

I’m Sophie Hanlon, better known on stage as Trophie, a UK‑raised, Sydney‑based songwriter, producer, performer, and educator with 15 years of global experience. I’ve performed on stages around the world from SXSW to DARK MOFO and worked as a professional songwriter with Universal Publishing (Berlin) and APRA AMCOS Australia. Through Trophie Productions, I turn that real‑world expertise into dynamic, hands‑on songwriting and music‑production workshops that empower the next wave of creators.

Advice from an industry professional explaining every step

“I created these workshops to fill a gap in programs that teach both songwriting and music production. With over 15 years in the music industry, I’ve seen firsthand how skills built through songwriting build confidence, encourage innovation, and foster meaningful collaboration. Whether for young creatives or corporate teams, these workshops offer a unique, hands-on experience that strengthens communication, teamwork, and creative problem-solving, making them an engaging and impactful team-building activity for any organisation.”
