Music Support: Understanding Addiction & Supporting Recovery
Speakers: Suzi Green [Tour Manager - Healthy Touring], Seye Adelekan [Musician, Composer - Gorillaz]
A 2019 study by Swedish digital platform, Record Union, found that 73% of independent musicians struggle with mental illness. Alcohol and drugs are often used to help balance the highs and lows of working in the industry but, because substance use is normalised and even celebrated, often people may not realise the negative impacts it can have on their lives.
Music Support, the charity that helps those who work in the music industry affected by mental ill-health and/or addiction, join us at Resonate 2023 for a special discussion surrounding addiction and recovery. Award-winning Tour Manager, Suzi Green is joined by acclaimed Gorillaz bassist, Seye Adelekan, for an open and honest conversation on this crucial topic.
