Been looking forward to sharing this project for years now!! I wrote the chapter on nutrition for the upcoming Touring and Mental Health manual edited by @tamsinembleton @wearemitc It was such an honor to be included in this important body of work that will help many touring professionals for years to come. A massive thank you to my friends, clients, and colleagues in the music industry (listed below in order or appearance) who let me interview and quote them for the nutrition chapter. It was a labor of love and I cannot wait to see the final product in print! Out March 2023, DM me for a discount code

There are many more people I wish I could include, and so many new colleagues and clients who I have met since writing this in 2020! These are the ones I truly could not have done this without (in order of appearance):

As some of you may know, I've been involved in the music industry for several years though my label @chapter24records, which I co-founded in 2014, as well as being a DJ and event organiser.

It was therefore an honour to be asked to contribute a chapter on breathing and breathwork to a new and very important publication by @wearemitc called 'Touring and Mental Health – The Music Industry Manual'. The book will be widely available in March.

This is also going to be my first published piece of writing on breathwork, which makes me feel very grateful that my expertise has been recognised in such a way!

More info:

Edited by psychotherapist and ex-booker @tamsinembleton and published by @omnibuspress on 23rd March, Touring and Mental Health – The Music Industry Manual will help musicians and those working in live music to identify, process and manage the physical and psychological difficulties that can occur on the road or as a result of touring. Touring and Mental Health - The Music Industry Manual - is supported by @livenation.

Covering topics including: emotional intelligence, depression, trauma, crisis management, anger and conflict, stress, addiction (substance & process; sex & porn), eating disorders, anxiety (performance; flight; general), group dynamics, mindset, exercise, physical health (hearing; vocal; sexual; general), optimal performance, dealing with the media, diversity and inclusion, romantic relationships, nutrition, sleep science, breathwork, meditation, duty of care, mental capacity, psychological safety and post-tour recovery, Touring and Mental Health – The Music Industry Manual is written by health and performing arts medicine professionals to provide robust clinical advice, cutting edge research, practical strategies and valuable resources.

Each chapter is also underpinned with personal recollections from artists and professionals including Nile Rodgers, Justin Hawkins, Philip Selway, Charles Thompson, Katie Melua, Kieran Hebden, Jake Berry, Tina Farris, Taylor Hanson, Trevor Williams, Lauren Mayberry, Pharoahe Monch, Jim Digby, Will Young, Angie Warner and Dale ‘Opie’ Skjerseth, among others.

The allegations against Tim Westwood really highlight the importance of the Misogyny in Music Inquiry. How was this man able to repeatedly commit and get away with these serious crimes against young black women?

Black women are continuously let down in the music industry and it takes a tax on them too! Our report shows that 42% of black women surveyed said their mental health had worsened since starting a career in music and 16% had sought counselling due to racial abuse.

In light of minority mental health awareness month and the allegations against Tim Westwood, we wanted to explore the data, causes and solutions to better support Black women in music.

Enough is enough, more must be done to elevate the voices of those who have been waiting to be heard, protected and believed. Submit your evidence to the Misogyny in Music inquiry now, at the link in our bio.
