Wednesday Wisdom: Music Artists and Mental Wellness

Posted on by Leave a comment

By Sacha Walton, Business Strategist and CEO of SWI Management Group

Mental health is not a niche topic in the music industry. The industry is fast-paced and full of demands for music artists. They are faced with a whirlwind of expectations from labels, fans, management, and promoters. However, the artists are typically left feeling overwhelmed, burned out, and at times, they lack the will to create.  

It’s easy for artists to get caught up and neglect their mental well-being. Maintaining a healthy state of mind is essential not only for personal happiness but also for creating inspired, meaningful music. This blog article delves into practical tips and techniques that can empower music artists to proactively manage their mental wellness, allowing them to flourish both on and off stage.

Life is Messy: Addressing Mental Health in the Moment with The Quinn and JD

Posted on by Leave a comment

JD made the trip up to Nashville from Atlanta for a special and super-important episode of The Quinn Spinn. JD opens up about his own, in-the-moment journey navigating mental health struggles and societal expectations, and shares valuable lessons learned along the way.

However, like life, this episode isn’t all serious. Given who’s involved, you know we had to go off the rails a bit… 😉

Shirtless Scotty and Getting Real About Causes (ft. The OG Quinn Spinn Family)

Posted on by Leave a comment

The real question is not whether Scotty does this episode shirtless. It’s how many members of the OG family spend the episode partially nude — and on 6/9, no less!

It’s not all fun and games, however. After the clothes go back on, a discussion about the causes we support takes a serious turn, and we look to use our usually-silly platform to make the world a better place.

Here’s to Your Mental Health

Posted on by One comment

Hi everyone. I’m Gerard. Some of you might know me as a friend or relative. Others might know me as a guy who started a local music blog that seems to be doing well these days. Or, I might be a former teammate, some random person from high school or college, or someone you’ve otherwise encountered in your travels once or twice. Some of you reading this might not know me at all. In that case, it’s nice to meet you.

If you know me, you probably know that I’ve always been a person with a lot to say. You can credit it partially to my natural love of expressing words, as a former English major and someone who has always enjoyed writing. It can be credited more recently, though, to the fact that life has taken some rather interesting turns over the past three years.

That is to say, it entirely fell apart between 2015 and 2017.
