"A crisis hotline has long been Backline's goal. After working with Chappell Roan following her famous 2025 Grammys speech advocating for better artist care, the organization gained the visibility needed to launch B-LINE. Spotify, Noah Kahan's The Busyhead Project, and Live Nation joined Backline in sponsoring the hotline, with additional support from Adyen, AEG Presents, Red Light Management, and Wasserman Foundation."
"Support for the wellbeing of the incredibly hard working artists and people that make the music industry function has long been neglected. A dedicated 24 hour hotline is the first step toward accessing critical mental health support. The Busyhead Project and I are proud to work with Backline to create a pathway toward a healthier future and an entry point for accessing resources."
Backline launched B-LINE, a 24/7 crisis support hotline offering access to trained counselors by phone at 1-855-BLINE99 or by text at 254-639. The hotline fulfills a long-standing organizational goal to provide immediate mental health support for people in the music industry. Visibility from working with Chappell Roan after her 2025 Grammys speech advocating better artist care helped enable the launch. Sponsors include Spotify, Noah Kahan's The Busyhead Project, Live Nation, Adyen, AEG Presents, Red Light Management, and Wasserman Foundation. Noah Kahan called the hotline a first step toward accessing critical mental health support and creating entry points to resources for artists and industry workers.
