MENTORING FOR ARTISTS

Build a career without losing yourself in it.

I work with committed artists who want to build a sustainable career without burning out, losing their creative connection or becoming consumed by the demands of the industry.

I’ve spent more than 25 years doing exactly that.

I’ve written, recorded, toured and released music as part of bands, a folk duo and my solo project Bryde. I’ve worked with labels, publishers, management and booking agents, run a small label, booked my own tours and navigated the realities of building a career as an independent artist.

I know what it feels like to love making music and still feel overwhelmed by everything that comes with it.

YOU MIGHT NEED SUPPORT WITH:

• Career decisions and uncertainty
• Self-doubt and comparison
• Anxiety, pressure and overwhelm
• Staying creatively connected
• The demands of visibility and self-promotion
• Motivation and creative blocks
• Boundaries and burnout
• Finding a sustainable way to keep making work

I combine artist mentoring with somatic coaching, bringing together practical industry experience with an understanding of the psychological pressures of being a working artist.

You don’t need another person telling you to work harder or be more productive.

You might need someone who understands what this life actually feels like.
