Healing the Music: Inside the Work of Music Health Alliance
Tuesday, 14 October, 2025

In this episode, we sit down with Shelia Shipley Biddy, CFO and Certified Senior Advisor at Music Health Alliance, to explore how this remarkable organization is helping protect, heal, and support the people behind the music. Shelia shares how Music Health Alliance serves as a vital resource for musicians and industry professionals seeking healthcare — offering free advocacy, access to doctors, insurance guidance, mental health support, and financial assistance when it's needed most. We talk about how anyone can get involved, ways to donate, and the impact of Heal The Music Day on October 17th, a movement that unites artists, managers, and fans to raise funds and awareness for MHA's life-changing work. Whether you're an artist, a music professional, or simply a fan who cares, this conversation is a must-listen. We hope you'll tune in — and share this episode with a friend — as we all do our part to heal the music. Learn more: https://www.musichealthalliance.com/ © 2025 362 Entertainment. All rights reserved.
