Universal Music Group and Music Health Alliance launch Music Industry Mental Health Fund

At the 2025 Grammy Awards, Chappell Roan called out record labels for failing to provide liveable wages or healthcare coverage to their artists, and detailed her own experience of struggling to deal with with her mental health after being dropped by Atlantic Records in 2020.

Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Noah Kahan, Sabrina Carpenter, and more, made donations of $25k to Backline, in order to help support the mental healthcare needs of artists.

It has now been revealed that the non-profit organisation Music Health Alliance, with the help of Universal Music Group, have launched a new fund which aims to give "comprehensive, high-quality outpatient mental health resources for music industry professionals nationwide."

In a statement, they said they will "provide a wide range of mental health services, such as: individualized recommendations for appropriate mental health counsellors and psychiatrists based on patients’ needs; grants to help offset costs; and, if required, funding resource recommendations to ensure continuity of care through additional financial and mental health support."
