For Mental Health Awareness Week we're we’re bringing the joy of music into hospitals, studios and communities across Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, London and Brighton. 🎶

Every week participants are working alongside professional producers, artists and music industry mentors through:

1-1 studio sessions
Open mic nights and performances
Artist development workshops
Peer support and Musicians Wellbeing groups

This week’s Musicians Wellbeing Session 🎶

Our free weekly online Musicians Wellbeing Session is a relaxed, peer-support space for musicians to check in, connect, and talk openly about mental health and wellbeing — using music as our shared language.

🧠 This week’s theme: The Importance of rest for artists and producers

We’ll explore how rest plays a key role in creativity, energy, and mental health, including:

• pressure to always be creating or releasing
• burnout and creative blocks
• guilt around resting or slowing down
• different pressures for rappers, singers & producers
• how rest supports creativity, focus, and wellbeing

This session isn’t about being more productive or doing things “perfectly.”
It’s about recognising the need for rest, understanding how it affects us as musicians, and creating space to slow down without guilt.

💬 Peer-led • lived experience • supportive space
🎧 Come to listen, share, or just sit in the space
🎹 No performing. No pressure. Come as you are

Leigh Patterson or Medley creates music which blurs borderlines between sample-driven instrumental Hip-Hop music and the more experimental side of Contemporary Classical.

His musical influences range from Joanna Newsom to JPEGMAFIA and his first two cassete purchases were Wu-Tang’s Enter The 36 Chambers and Mad Skillz - From Where??? Which feature production from heavyweights J-Dilla and the Rza, none less.

His first memory of music was listening to his Dad play Rock, Funk and Soul vinyl and other times guitar at home and feeling like he wanted to join it too. He would later recall hearing music whist being out with family or friends, as if he was inside a film. This internal soundtrack would follow and keep him hole throughout his boyhood.

Music became centric to his every existence, an extension of himself and a reason to be. In his young adult years, however, he went through several mental episodes in which music was always the requeim. Leigh endured a perioid where he had to stop listening to music with lyrics because he felt he was involved with or was the protagonist of the lyrics and stories he was hearing; he started to hear himself in the words. Overcoming this was tough but gave light to the instrumental picture behind the words and a love for instrumental hip-hop would reign after.

Introducing Abyss... music is life... I’m a night-owl gamer with a soft spot for dark aesthetics and loud rock.

When I’m not grinding through game worlds, I’m binge-watching anime and losing myself in stories that hit harder than reality. I live by a simple truths — it can’t rain all the time, It’s always darkest before the dawn…Even in the chaos there’s order, there’s always a spark worth chasing.

If you’re into late-night playlists, pixel worlds, and anime marathons, you’ll probably find me there already…

If the people we love are stolen from us. Then the best way to have them live on is to never stop Loving them, Buildings burn, people die but real Love is forever… it can’t rain all the time, but I like the rain it can’t cleanse your soul.

Shelter from the storm and never let the fire burn out, keep the kindle burning, keep a fire in your heart and let love light your way.

This week’s Musicians Wellbeing Session 🎶

Our free weekly online Musicians Wellbeing Session is a relaxed, peer-support space for musicians to check in, connect, and talk openly about mental health and wellbeing — using music as our shared language.

🧠 This week’s theme: Generational Trauma

We’ll explore how experiences, patterns, and stories passed down through families and communities can show up in music and everyday life, including:
• inherited beliefs and expectations
• emotional patterns and survival responses
• cultural identity and storytelling
• how the past can shape creativity and self-expression
• finding your own voice within what you’ve inherited

This session isn’t about analysing the past or finding quick answers.
It’s about gently recognising what we carry, how it affects us as musicians, and creating space for awareness and expression.

💬 Peer-led • lived experience • trauma-informed
🎧 Come to listen, share, or just sit in the space
🎹 No performing. No fixing. Come as you are.
