An interdisciplinary sociologist of culture, he specializes in researching musicians' psychosocial working lives with a focus on mental health and wellbeing in the music industry. His work has directly influenced industry practices and government policy, including the establishment of the Music Minds Matter helpline in 2017. Dr. Musgrave holds a PhD from the Centre for Competition Policy (UEA), an MA in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, and a Cambridge MA (Cantab) in Social and Political Science. His academic journey reflects his interdisciplinary approach that bridges sociology, psychology, and economics in understanding creative work. His research interests center on the psychological experiences and working conditions of creative careers, particularly examining how the music industry impacts mental health. Musgrave investigates the paradox where music-making can be therapeutic while building a music career often proves detrimental to wellbeing. His work explores the intersections of identity, class, gender, and economic precarity in creative labor, with particular attention to how social media, streaming platforms, and industry structures affect musicians' mental health. Analyzing his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on mental health in the music industry across multiple dimensions: epidemiological studies of anxiety and depression among musicians, interventions and policy solutions, the impact of digital platforms, and the cultural narratives surrounding musical work. His research spans methodological approaches from quantitative surveys to qualitative interviews and critical policy analysis, consistently highlighting the need for structural changes in the music industry to support artist wellbeing.
