“The team at Tonic Music have long recognised the gap of specialist mental health support for music agents and managers. We are both delighted and humbled to receive the support of the Christopher Meredith Foundation who recognise this Agents x Managers package can create a meaningful positive impact, both for music agents and managers and the industry more widely. We hope this initial package is the first step towards increasingly tailored mental health support for people working in the music industry.”

“We are delighted to be launching a bespoke package of mental health support for music agents and managers, who are often not included within conversations around mental health in the music industry, despite experiencing similar and other unique stressors within their work. By offering a combination of therapy sessions, peer groups, skills workshops and training courses, we believe this package of mental health support for music agents and managers will have a significant positive impact upon the music industry.”

“From going above and beyond to make sure the artists he was working with could perform, to supporting local venues and maintaining a beautifully unassuming nature with everything in between, Chris simply loved music and people. The Christopher Meredith Foundation seeks to continue this, as Chris’ legacy, whilst also addressing the industry’s mental health challenges in the hope that one day we will have a music industry where everyone thrives.”

“Although my personal journey around mental health was kickstarted by the passing of Chris Meredith back in 2019, it quickly became obvious to me that the issue of mental health in the music industry is not a new one or something that is limited to only a few people. It has been a pleasure to get to know the CMF and Tonic Music teams, as this agents and managers package began to take shape and get a glimpse into the genuine heart they all have to improve our industry. The work Tonic Music already does is aimed to make a real difference to those facing mental health challenges and I am sure this new package will do the same.”
