I’m incredibly proud to share that my song “You Are the Only One for Me” has been selected as a Semi-Finalist in the UK Songwriting Contest 2025 in the Open / All Genres category. This contest is judged by professional music industry figures and is recognised internationally as one of the leading songwriting competitions.
Reaching the Semi-Finals means the song has already stood out from thousands of entries worldwide. It’s a strong validation of the songwriting itself — the melody, lyrics, structure, and emotional connection — which is exactly what the judges focus on at this stage.
From here, the song is now being considered for Category Winner, and potentially even Overall Winner of the Contest, which is an incredible opportunity. Alongside this track, I also have four more songs currently in Session 3 awaiting judging, giving multiple chances to progress further in the competition.
The UK Songwriting Contest has strong links across the music industry, including publishers, record labels, managers, and media, making every stage of advancement extremely valuable for exposure and credibility as a songwriter.
This Semi-Finalist result is already a massive achievement, and whatever happens next, it confirms that the music is connecting at a professional level.
Below I’ve included links to the songs entered into the contest so you can listen and follow the journey as the results continue to roll in.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the music so far — this is just the beginning.
