Music Industry Voices Music Cities Network e.V.

For sure, there is no need to explain how important the topic of mental health has become in our society over the past few years - also in the music industry. This episode's guest, Rosana Corbacho, got the call early enough to now be a clinical and humanistic psychologist who specializes in the music industry and all its challenges for our mental health.

Rosana opens up about how she came to work in this field, and what her day-to-day work life looks like. In this very honest conversation, she also provided us with tips and guidance, and maybe even a few warnings we should keep in mind.

When I asked Rosana what she found helpful along her career - in any matter - she sent this:

Favourite Book: Musicophilia - Oliver Sacks

Favourite Podcasts:

To be heard on this episode: Sandra Perens who is opening up about the value of mentorship in her career, how she fostered a healthy relationship between work and her mental health, and why you should proceed to do what you love - although you parents might still not get your job.

When I asked Sandra what she found helpful along her career - in any matter, she sent me a list saying: "They haven’t exactly been smth for my career advancement, but rather ways to broaden my mind and thinking and a way to reset so I’d be able to do good work later on." We love a broadened mind so please find Sandras recommendations below:

Books would be:

Adam Grant's "Originals"

James Clear's "Atomic Habits"

Jenny Odell's "How to Do Nothing"

Bernardine Evaristo's "Girl, Woman, Other"

Ann Patchett's "The Dutch House"

Madeleine Miller's "The Song of Achilles"



Blogs I enjoy are also from Adam Grand and then from Esther Perel - they give such wonderful insights into the world and relatioships around us. They also have podcasts - Esther’s “Where should we begin” is a great listening. Then I also subscribe to Monocle magazines daily newsletter - it keeps you up to date with the things going on around the world, and the Sunday one always has a recepie to try out and I do like a cool new recipe.



For podcasts there's “Home Cooking” by Samin Nosrat and Hrishikes Hirway and then "Heavyweight" by Jonathan Goldstein.

For this episode we talked to Tom Besford, Chief Executer of the English Folk Expo. Tom used his deep passion for folk music to help to create new opportunities for artists and musicians across the UK since 2012.
