Reference for function defined inside an object

How do I get reference for a def defined inside a object.

object SomeObject {
  def someMethod(x: String): String = s"Hello $x"
}

I want reference for someMethod function.

What I tried so far:

val method = SomeObject.getClass.getDeclaredMethods.head
val function = method _

But this returns () => java.lang.reflect.Method = <function0> instead of (String) => (String) = <function1>.

TIA
