Descripción
We had the pleasure of chatting with Si Martin, co-founder of the mental health charity 'Heads Above The Waves', to talk all things mental health in music.
With years of experience supporting others and lived experience of the ups and downs, Si shares practical advice, helpful tips, and heartfelt encouragement for anyone navigating the challenges of being a musician today.
Si opens up about the personal struggles he’s faced, the tools and techniques that have helped him manage his mental wellbeing, and why it's so important for musicians and creatives to prioritise their mental health, both on and off stage.
Whether you’re a musician yourself or just want to learn how to support someone who is, this conversation is full of relatable, real, and genuinely helpful insights.
