Jeordie is currently undertaking a PhD and his current work focuses on substance use among working musicians. In this thought-provoking conversation we explore the complex factors that contribute to musicians' increased susceptibility to substance use. From personal characteristics to industry specific pressures, we discuss how neurodiversity, class, race, gender, disability, and mental health intersect with drug use patterns. It's a deep dive into topics that have a profound impact on musicians' journeys and the industry as a whole.
