For ten years, the ONE OF ONE organisation has curated an inclusive and beautiful community right across Australia that has supported and empowered the music industry’s female and gender non-conforming members. Through its extensive series of events, namely their renowned breakfasts and networking sessions, ONE OF ONE has become a name that is synonymous with the celebration of professional achievements and new trails being blazed.
Returning in 2025, ONE OF ONE is planning on celebrating this milestone with a national tour of breakfasts set to take place throughout March, including their first ever Perth event! The core foundation of these events remain the same: these are a platform to uplift, encourage and inspire people working in the music industry. In 2025 though, ONE OF ONE is coming through with birthday hats on, adding extra flair to proceedings!
“We cannot believe it’s been 10 years of One of One! We’ve grown from our humble beginnings with the help and support of our community, and the music industry. We still love what we do, and it’s as important now as it ever was. We have a team of incredible women and GNC people across the country who work with us, and we are so proud of being here for a decade and all of the people we’ve spotlighted through our events and interviews (over 400!). So many memories! And so much more to come.” ONE OF ONE
With March being Women’s History Month, it is perfect timing for the 2025 ONE OF ONE tour to be returning; kicking things off with One of One’s first time ever bringing the tour to Perth, ahead of International Women’s Day, on March 7th. The tour continues around the country, hitting venues in Brisbane, Darwin, Sydney and Melbourne, before capping it off with a final stop in Adelaide on March 28th.
The first of several keynote announcements still to come, One of One are proud to reveal that ARIA and BRIT Award winning recording artist, producer and national treasure TINA ARENA will be stepping up as keynote speaker for Melbourne’s event on March 25th!
A fully catered breakfast event including keynotes, performances, networking opportunities and special guests to be announced, ONE OF ONE are excited to nurture a new wave of memories for the 2025 tour. Orchestrated by the team of talented and respected music industry professionals – Sarah Hamilton, Joanna Cameron, and Bec Young – these events have become calendar marks for the Australian music industry and in the past, have featured impactful performances and keynotes delivered by artists including Jen Cloher, Stella Donnelly, Becca Hatch, Eliza Hull, Deborah Cheetham AO, Emma Donovan, Beckah Amani, Caiti Baker and more.
Of the 2025 tour, the ONE OF ONE team say, “We’re excited to return to venues like The Gov in Adelaide, The Factory in Sydney, Botanic Gardens Centre in Darwin and The Triffid in Brisbane who have all been involved in One of One events in the past. For the first time we are heading to Perth and partnering with the incredible Rechabite there and in Melbourne we’ll be hosting our event at the iconic Corner Hotel for the first time!
Diversity and equity will always be important, and there are many organisations fighting for this in different ways. With the political climate the way that it is, it’s more important now than ever to keep fighting for these things. One of One is a safe space for women and GNC people to connect, celebrate and push things forward. We want to keep having the discussions that mean something, that go deeper than surface level, and that push for meaningful change.”
