    Men's Mental Health in the Music Industry - Lloyd Luther and Bemz | Tiny Changes Big Podcast Ep. 5

    Why is it still so hard for men in music to ask for help? Lloyd Luther and Bemz open up about the silence, the pressure, and the systemic barriers that stop men from expressing how they actually feel - and why compassion, not condemnation, is the only way forward. 🎙 MEN'S MENTAL HEALTH Hosted by Be Charlotte, this is the fifth episode in a six-part series exploring mental health, safety, and systemic challenges in the music industry - with a particular focus on supporting young people entering the industry. Lloyd Luther is an artist whose music has been featured on Netflix's Top Boy, a MOBO Award finalist, and a mental health advocate. Bemz is an artist and founder of M4 Festival, which he created after realising he needed to build opportunities rather than wait for them. In this episode we cover: - The silence and pressure men face when asking for help with their mental health - The impact of toxic masculinity discourse and incel culture on vulnerable young men - Why compassion is essential rather than condemnation - The intersectionality of being a Black man in an industry that boxes artists into limited roles - Living with Crohn's disease while pursuing a music career - Founding M4 Festival and the mental exhaustion of being at the forefront of representation - Why young men still face systemic barriers that prevent authentic self-expression ⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode contains discussions of men's mental health including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It also contains references to drug use from a young age, chronic illness, toxic masculinity, misogyny in music, online radicalisation, racism, and systematic discrimination in the music industry.

    Three incredible guests discuss building inspiring careers despite facing significant barriers. Maya Kashif shares her experience navigating the classical music world whilst managing invisible disabilities including Type 1 diabetes and visual impairment, explaining how asking for what you need isn't a weakness but a necessity. Jocelyn Si from Walt Disco discusses staying authentic to your taste, their songwriting practices, and why they believe the music industry rewards those who are true to themselves. Mobo Agoro talks about creating space in the Scottish music scene when you don't see yourself represented, the importance of building community, and finding like-minded people who may not share your exact barriers but understand the feeling of not belonging. Together, they explore how to advocate for your needs, manage performance anxiety, support other freelancers, and create opportunities when traditional doors don't open. ----------------------------------------- ⏱ CHAPTERS ----------------------------------------- 0:00 - Introduction 5:20 - Music as an Outlet 13:32 - Building Community 22:20 - Performance and Authenticity 36:39 - Advice for Young Musicians ----------------------------------------- 📚 RESOURCES ----------------------------------------- Musicians' Union - Support and resources: https://www.musiciansunion.org.uk From The Corner Eating A Banana, A Freelancers View On Invisible Illness – MU article by Maya Kashif: https://musiciansunion.org.uk/news/from-the-corner-eating-a-banana-a-freelancer-s-view-on-invisible-illness Pitch Scotland – International Conference on hiphop and underground culture: https://www.pitchscotland.com/ ----------------------------------------- ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ----------------------------------------- This episode has themes of mental health throughout.

    Surviving Social Media - Lauren Mayberry and Kirsteen Harvey

    What does it actually mean to put yourself out there as a musician in 2025? Lauren Mayberry (CHVRCHES) and Kirsteen Harvey discuss the reality of being publicly creative in an age where you're never really off - the comments don't stop, the scrutiny doesn't stop, and that constant visibility can take a toll on your mental health. Kirsteen shares her journey from zero to 100,000 TikTok followers in under two years, discussing the pressure to maintain consistency, the guilt of taking even a one-week break, and the challenge of separating yourself from your online persona. Lauren opens up about her experiences with cyber misogyny over more than a decade, including receiving death threats, rape threats, being turned into deep fake porn, and having to pay for enhanced home security. She discusses how she's learned to humanise trolls without excusing their behaviour, why happy people don't act like that, and the importance of finding balance between authenticity and self-protection. Both artists talk about the change we need to see and the impact of their experiences - both the good and the bad. ----------------------------------------- ⏱ CHAPTERS ----------------------------------------- 0:00 - Introduction 8:06 - The Reality of Online Growth 20:05 - Harassment and Safety 32:00 - Managing Mental Health Online 43:47 - Industry Changes Needed ----------------------------------------- 📚 RESOURCES ----------------------------------------- Music Minds Matter - Mental health support: https://www.musicmindsmatter.org.uk ----------------------------------------- ⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ----------------------------------------- This episode contains detailed discussion of online abuse and trolling, misogyny and gender-based harassment which briefly mentions death threats, rape threats, and image based sexual abuse - the descriptions of these are limited but can be vivid.

    Keeping Young People Safe in an Under-regulated Industry - Part 1

    Dr. George Musgrave shares over 15 years of research into the dangerous paradox of music careers: how can something that brings joy also cause such profound mental health struggles?In this episode, we explore why musicians face suicide rates 69% higher than the general population for women and 20% higher for men, examine the stark gap between social media mythology and harsh financial realities, and discuss how 47% of UK musicians earn less than £10,000 annually. George shares practical strategies for protecting your mental health from the perspective of both an academic in this field and an artist who was signed to multiple major labels; including defining success on your own terms, having friends outside the music industry, and focusing on what you can actually control in an unpredictable career.
