UMA Music has partnered with Music for Mental Wealth in support of their mission to provide musicians with a free platform to receive experienced mental health guidance.
The partnership was announced by Lord Mervyn Davies at Music for Mental Wealth’s Christmas concert on December 7th at St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden attended by 300 people, including notable guests such as Jeremy Vine and Duncan Kenworthy OBE.
To celebrate the partnership, MMW and UMA Music have teamed up to kick off the new year with a show at 100 Wardour Street on January 8th, featuring live performances from Richard Morris, Coax and Ashfields.
Music for Mental Wealth (MMW) launched in May 2017 and is dedicated to the prevention and relief of mental illness within the music industry. Their mission is to help prevent musicians from suffering from such problems as anxiety, writer’s block, addictions, self-doubt and stress, by offering a go-to place for artists to learn tips and better prepare themselves for the inevitable highs and lows of the music industry.
