Our lives as musicians can feel lonely
We are part of a wonderful profession of innovation and change, alongside tradition. We bring creativity and joy to the lives of many people, but often our own lives feel hidden. Issues we may be facing with motivation, money, mental health and injury are too often kept inside. We are scared of what might happen if we share our struggles as well as our music.
Things Musicians Don’t Talk About tells musicians’ stories. Our community aims to create a safe space to open up discussion and share our experiences in order to raise awareness for the real issues we face.
Nothing is off limits, we will talk about anything we need to. This will always be the main aim, regardless of how uncomfortable or stigmatised the issue is.
