Renowned artist manager and entertainment industry expert, Bullgod, has spoken out about the importance of taking care of one’s health in the music industry.
Speaking on a panel at the Music In Africa Conference for Collaborations, Exchange and Showcases (ACCES) in Accra, Bullgod emphasized the need for artists to prioritize their own well-being.
He warned against the common expectation for managers to take on the responsibility of looking after their artists’ health, stating that this should be a personal priority for every musician.
Bullgod acknowledged the demanding nature of the music industry, with long hours, late nights, and constant travel taking a toll on artists’ physical and mental health. However, he stressed the importance of self-care and taking proactive steps to maintain good health.
Bullgod’s message is particularly pertinent in an industry known for its high-pressure environment and culture of excess.
The lifestyle of a successful musician often involves late nights, frequent travel, and exposure to various health risks such as substance abuse.
However, Bullgod’s advice serves as a reminder that ultimately, it is up to the individual artist to take responsibility for their own wellbeing.
Bullgod’s insights come at a time when mental health and wellness are increasingly in the spotlight, with many artists speaking out about their struggles and advocating for greater support and awareness within the industry. As such, his words carry significant weight and relevance in the modern music landscape.
Bullgod’s message to artists is clear: take care of your health and don’t rely solely on your managers to look after you.
It is a message that resonates beyond the music industry and serves as a timely reminder for everyone to take ownership of their own wellbeing.
