What does a healthier music industry actually look like?

And who gets to shape it?

As part of Let’s Talk Burnout, Hugh’s Room Live brings artists and industry leaders together for an evening exploring the role of leadership in creating healthier, more supportive music-industry workplaces.

Moderated by Catherine Harrison, President of Revelios and lead researcher of Soundcheck, the conversation will explore how venue owners, managers, artists and other industry leaders can help build cultures where people feel supported, respected and psychologically safe. Joined by singer-songwriter Tony Dekker (Great Lake Swimmers), the panel will consider what meaningful culture change can look like in practice, and how we can move beyond conversations about individual resilience to address the systems and expectations that shape our working lives.
