Mental Health of the Music Industry

Mental health is a challenge in normal times for the touring and creating musician, artist, recording engineer, and others in this field. Suddenly being challenged economically takes a fragile system and makes it challenged. Organizations have stepped up to help — but what is the long-term challenges and solution in an era of increasing uncertainty? We’ll talk about support systems and mental health challenges for music creators in local communities around the globe.

Speakers:
Eline Van Audenaerde | The Unicorn Mothership
Ace Piva | Over the Bridge
Angela Rose Whaley | Music Minds Matter
Sally Anne Gross | University of Westminster
Debbie Carroll, LCSW | MusiCares

Amplify Music Communities

Local Music - Emerging from the Pandemic Globally

Music is changing locally around the world. Enjoy our Community Conversations with music leaders in cities, regions, and countries throughout 2021. And please get inspired from the panel sessions from the Amplify Music 2021 conference that we will roll out over the next few months. What is Amplify Music? Amplify Music began as a quick virtual conference in April 2021 to capture stories and challenges of local music early in the pandemic. We gathered 39 sessions of conversations across 25 hours in April. In April 2021, we gathered conversations back together for AM21. Please enjoy past recordings and the future Amplify Music Communities episodes.
