What role can mentoring play in building a sustainable music career? In this episode, we’re joined by Saffie Halke from Help Musicians and Mike Spearman, drummer of Everything Everything and mentor on their Co-Pilot programme. Together, they unpack how mentoring helps artists gain confidence, fill industry knowledge gaps, and build meaningful connections. We discuss what makes a great mentor–mentee relationship, how to prepare for sessions, and what to expect from Help Musicians’ free Co-Pilot scheme, which matches creatives with experienced professionals from across the industry.Find out more about Co-Pilot here: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/get-support/develop-as-a-musician/co-pilot-the-musicians-mentoring-network
