Professor Green Joins Podfest Line-Up

Mental health advocate and musician Professor Green announced as guest at Podfest for Mental Health this weekend

Releasing his debut album in 2010, Alive Till I’m Dead, Stephen Manderson (AKA Professor Green) came onto the British music scene with a bang. In recent years however, his work in the mental health industry has seen him gain attention as an advocate, speaking about mental health and grief.

His documentary, Suicide and Me, gave the nation an insight into the mental health challenges he’s encountered, including suicide bereavment. Working with Heads Together to raise mental health awareness among young people and interviewing guests such as Hussain Manawer, Gizi Erskine and Jeremy Corbyn for his podcast Learning to Adult, Slowly, Professor Green has become a prominent voice in the mental health arena.
