About the Artist

Robert Childs wrote his first song when he was about 10 years of age. He continued writing songs over many years and made a couple of demo albums before he founded SCALA (Songwriters, Composers And Lyricists Association) in 1987. Subsequently, Robert played his songs solo for a few years before other musicians joined him and encouraged him to record. He released his debut album Revenge (with the Robert Childs Elastic Band) in 1994 then a solo album of political songs, called Contagion, in 2007. Until he retired as SCALA President in March 2013, Robert coordinated the recording, design and/or release of all of SCALA’s albums since the first in 1990, edited all of SCALA’s newsletters and he maintained SCALA’s original website (now on Wayback Machine). He still writes songs and occasionally he plays them. He was awarded an OAM (Medal of the Order of Australia) for his services to music in 2004 and was inducted into the South Australian Music Industry Hall Of Fame in 2019.
