Episode 5 - Ellen Beth Abdi on letters to her 11-year-old self, the power of singing, and why I'm a 6 music dad by osmosis

In this Episode 5 of Mental Notes, I chat to Ellen Beth Abdi, a musician from Manchester, about the intersection of music and mental health. We explore Ellen's journey in the music industry, the challenges of releasing her debut album, the societal pressures faced by musicians, and how I might be better off hanging my microphone from the ceiling instead of putting it in a coffee mug. Ellen shares insights into her songs and songwriting process, the impact of the pandemic on her career, and the importance of acknowledging privilege. We also discuss why musicians need more support from the government, and how I am a 6 music dad without even trying to be one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
