Soundcheck
The Soundcheck initiative aims to care for DJ's and artists through a model of chaplaincy. As part of our desire to support those who work in the music industry we're embarking on a series of honest conversations entitled Soundcheck Stories. We want to shed light upon our guests' experiences, struggles and frustrations and ultimately discuss how they survive and thrive. We'll be confronting mental health concerns, gender and race discrimination, the importance of spirituality and faith and the artist's hopes for the future.
