Mental health charity Mind has teamed up with Joy Crookes for the latest instalment of ‘Behind The Song’, a filmed series where artists take part in conversations about music and mental health.
In the episode, filmed at Jumbi in Peckham, Crookes discusses her recently released second album, ‘Juniper’, and talks about the necessity of destigmatising mental health within the music industry.
She explains, “If I was to make an agency for helping artists, it would be as simple as providing mental health services and a funny little thing called ‘HR’.
“During the Black Lives Matter movement, there was a management company that gave all of their artists free [therapy] sessions… If that could be applied to the entirety of the music industry and all artists, I think that would make a more compassionate industry.”
‘Behind The Song’ has previously featured conversations with artists such as YUNGBLUD, a supporter of Mind, and Perrie Edwards, who was named a Mind ambassador earlier this year.
