Music Biz Conference Panel

The Music Industry’s Responsibility in Artist Wellness

Navigating the ups and downs, and even the middle ground, of a career in music is tough at every stage of an artist’s career. Long hours in the studio, writer’s block, performance anxiety, weeks and months spent away from home, critical acclaim, bad reviews, and maintaining the perfect image are just a few of the many stressful things that artists face over and over again in their careers. While musicians often get support in artist development areas like A&R, social media, PR, radio, and business management, who is looking out for their emotional well-being? This panel will examine how to support the artists you work with, learn to listen for and recognize triggers and warning signs of emotional distress, and get them the help they need before a situation spirals out of control.
