The Music Executive Stress
\nManagement Programme, run by the Music Industry Therapist Collective
\n(MITC), will provide fully funded support to five professionals,
\nincluding a 1:1 mentoring session with May.<\/p>\n
The
\n scheme is designed as a preventative intervention for those working in
\nan environment defined by long hours, late nights, high pressure, and the
\n expectation to always be \u201con\u201d. The organisers note that excessive
\nstress is often only recognised when it exceeds an individual\u2019s coping
\nthreshold and reaches crisis point.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis
\n industry is built on passion, but passion on its own is not always
\nenough to protect people from pressure and overload,\u201d May said. \u201cI
\nwanted to support a programme that invests in professionals as whole
\npeople, helping them build careers that are ambitious, healthy and
\nsustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n
MITC is a
\n clinically led international nonprofit whose practitioners combine
\ntherapeutic training with lived experience in the music business. The
\ncollective has supported tours including Radiohead, Dua Lipa, and The
\nLast Dinner Party, and works with organisations such as AEG and SJM.<\/p>\n
The
\n programme was developed by MITC\u2019s operations director Laura Newton, a
\nformer electronic music agent, and MITC founder Tamsin Embleton,
\npreviously a venue and festival booker. Newton said: \u201cI\u2019ve seen
\nfirst-hand how exciting and rewarding this industry can be, but also how
\n easy it is for stress and unhealthy working patterns to become
\nnormalised. We designed this programme to support emerging professionals
\n at a critical stage in their careers.\u201d<\/p>\n
Participants
\n will receive six weeks of 1:1 performance coaching with psychologist
\nStu Holliday, four months of psychotherapy with a specialist industry
\ntherapist, and Vedic meditation training with Blaise DeAngelo, former
\ngeneral manager of Skrillex\u2019s OWSLA label. The programme also includes
\nexpert-led workshops on stress and resilience.<\/p>\n
This is a pilot cohort with an evaluation framework. Findings will inform future iterations.<\/p>\n
Applications open 23 April and close 1 June, with the programme beginning in September 2026.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
