Alexander Som and Mental Health in Electronic Music

Mental health in the electronic music industry is establishing itself as a central topic, moving away from taboo to show the reality behind the stages. DJ and producer Alexander Som addresses this issue from the artist's perspective, delving into the pressures of the scene and continuing the analyses of specialists like Rosana Corbacho.

The focus is placed on the hidden side of the sector, exploring the complex management of success and failure. The real difficulties that creators face to make a living from their passion are exposed, as well as the psychological impact that the demands of the circuit exert on the profession, demystifying the figure of the DJ and showing their vulnerability.

This context is nourished by the experiences of other house and techno figures, such as Roger Sanchez, Edu Imbernon, Andrés Campo or Regal. Addressing mental health is vital to understand the challenges that professionals overcome beyond the DJ booth.
