Pioneer DJ Presents: Mental Health Through An Intersectional Lens
Pioneer DJ is the latest to join the MEETSSS partner roster with a discussion on mental health chaired by General Manager Mark Grotefeld.
We are excited to welcome Pioneer DJ as a Presenting Partner at our inaugural female-first, music-forward event, MEETSSS.
Pioneer DJ joins the event with a panel focused on mental health chaired by Pioneer DJ’s UK General Manager Mark Grotefeld, featuring an array of music industry professionals to be revealed together with the official schedule in September. The discussion will explore how one’s mental health in the business, whether a creative or an executive, is influenced by social media pressure, self-doubt, unrealistic expectations, gender and racial discrimination and so forth.
“For 25 years, we’ve believed our company is more than just a product manufacturer. Behind our brand is a team of people who are passionate members of the dance music community and, through Pioneer DJ, we’re driven to support the well-being of our friends and colleagues including artists, DJs, managers, promoters and clubbers. Our documentary “Slaves to the Rhythm” explored the serious issue of how artists’ mental health can be adversely affected by touring, and our forthcoming film “Insta DJ” takes a deep dive into the darker effects of social media’s widespread use on the dancefloor. Harnessing our close relationships with artists, we’re committed to continue raising awareness and creating safe platforms for constructive discussions around these issues.”
Mark Grotefeld, General Manager, Pioneer DJ
