Healthy Ways To Pursue A Music Career

From the crowd, working in the music industry can look like a pure dream. But the more we talk about mental health and wellbeing, the more we learn that artists, managers, roadies, and the people in their lives often find themselves facing just as much struggle as they find and face success. The hours, the expectations, the stakes, the pay, and the habits together can make for a pretty tumultuous day job.

Support Act’s Tune Ups series is a high impact, intimate and revealing video series that goes into the deeply personal mental health journeys of some of Australia’s biggest and emerging names in music, including Support Act Mental Health Advocates Brendon Love (The Teskey Brothers), Sahara Herald (Frontier Touring) and Fanny Lumsden – asking what it took to take control of their own mental wellbeing and what they do now to stay on track.

Mental health issues can affect anyone, but there are healthy ways to pursue a career in music and support for those who make music their career through the Support Act Wellbeing Helpline on 1800 959 500.
