Spotify Launches ‘Heart & Soul’ Mental Health Hub for Creators

Spotify has launched Heart & Soul: Mental Health for Creators, a new global initiative aimed at supporting the emotional well-being of artists, songwriters, and the teams behind the music. This isn’t just a short-term campaign, it's a long-term commitment to changing how the music industry approaches mental health. At the heart of the initiative is a brand new Spotify hub featuring calming playlists, audiobooks, and podcast conversations that speak directly to the highs and lows of the creative journey.

As part of the rollout, Spotify has partnered with mental health nonprofit Backline to create a first-of-its-kind global mental health resource center. The hub is packed with accessible, practical support tools for music professionals worldwide, from emergency resources and mental health education to info on therapy, wellness, and financial aid options. It’s a serious step forward for an industry where pressure, burnout, and isolation are often brushed under the rug.

For dance music artists in particular, where late nights, constant touring, and social media noise can take a toll, Heart & Soul offers a much-needed reset. It’s rare to see a platform as big as Spotify put this kind of focus on the well-being of its creator community, and it’s a move that could help shift the entire culture around mental health in music.

Whether you’re deep in release mode, gigging every weekend, or just trying to stay balanced, this hub is worth bookmarking.
