Abstract
This qualitative study aimed to examine experiences related to character strengths and personal growth among professional songwriters. Key informants were five songwriters who met the fixed set of criteria. Data were collected by the researchers through in-depth interviews. The results revealed four main themes: (1) Interests, preference, to be known needs as the initiatives of their songwriting. (2) Experiences on becoming a songwriter
(3) Gaining career clarity and perceived the meaning in songwriting (4) Awareness of self and understanding of life. The Finding of this study indicated that songwriter experiences in relation to their understanding of self and others, their aspiration to build better society are part of their character strengths and personal growth. Those have been accumulated through life experiences and feedback from their audience on their songwriting.
