About MentalVoice

MentalVoice is a non-profit-organization aiming at creating more awareness of mental health in the music industry. Thereby we hope to create a healthier and safer work environment for artists, musicians, bands and the people around them, where they are better equipped for handling the challenges related to being in the music industry. That also includes focusing on diversity in the industry and the conditions that are challenging the wellbeing of many people in the industry.

Our vision is, that our work will help changing the outlook on the creative industries, so that they will be perceived and recognized as real jobs. That recognition would help the people in the industry and improve their well-being. We want to offer resources and knowledge that is easily accessible to musicians and/or managers, taking into account that many musicians and managers don’t have an economy that allows them to spend money on their mental health. Our organization is currently one of the only organizations in Denmark offering these things to this specific target group.

The team behind MentalVoice consists of dedicated and competent people with knowledge of the music industry, the world of sports and psychology. Combining knowledge and experience from these different areas will help strengthen our work. The idea behind MentalVoice is to apply knowledge and experiences from elite athletes in the world of sports to the music industry. This derives from the belief that the music industry can benefit from incorporating the approach to improving performances that is used in the world of sports, which revolves around mental focus and preparation. An athlete cannot just focus on physical training, he/she also needs to focus on mental training to endure the pressure from that kind of career. The same applies for people in the music industry – to put it simply; if you focus on your mental health, you will a better producer, manager and performer.
