Music Health Alliance Expands Leadership Team
Music Health Alliance (MHA), the nonprofit dedicated to providing advocacy and access to healthcare and mental health for the music industry, has appointed Lindsay Hayes as Vice President of Development and announced several staff promotions across its advocacy and healthcare navigation team. In this role, Hayes will lead the growth of MHA’s fundraising and strategic partnerships to ensure long-term financial sustainability so the organization can continue its mission to Heal The Music for generations to come.
Hayes brings more than 15 years of experience supporting artists and creative organizations through growth, transition, and large-scale productions. Her work has spanned artist management, marketing strategy, and live events across the US and abroad with a focus on turning ambitious creative ideas into well-run, sustainable projects.
“For the past ten years, producing Music Health Alliance’s annual benefit as a volunteer has been a source of great pride for me,” said Hayes. “I’m thrilled to now make things official and join MHA at a time when their work has never been more vital.”
Originally from Asheville, North Carolina, Hayes moved to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University, where she graduated magna cum laude before launching her career in the music business. Early in her career she worked on notable projects including the Grammy-nominated album I Love: Tom T. Hall’s Songs of Fox Hollow (Red Beet Records). She went on to spend nearly a decade in artist management before transitioning into a Marketing Director role at Red Light Management, and most recently served as General Manager of Collective Artist Management, overseeing operations, strategy, and partnerships.
After more than a decade of service to Music Health Alliance through volunteer leadership, Hayes now joins the organization’s leadership team at a pivotal moment of growth and impact.
“For years we have hoped the stars would align for Lindsay to join us in an official capacity, and today feels like the answer to a very long prayer,” says Tatum Allsep, MHA Founder & CEO. “Lindsay brings a rare combination of innovative strategy expertise, deep industry knowledge, and a heart that beats for the wellbeing of our creative community. Having her leadership on our team is not only a dream realized, but a powerful investment in the future of Music Health Alliance and the people we are privileged to serve.”
Music Health Alliance also announced several key staff promotions, recognizing team members whose leadership and dedication continue to strengthen MHA’s advocacy and healthcare navigation services for the music community:
“I’m so proud to celebrate these hard-earned promotions! Each of these six team members has advanced the mission of Music Health Alliance through their impactful results, innovation, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the music community we serve. These promotions honor the impact they’ve already made and their momentum to continue to Heal The Music,” says Allsep.
Since its founding in 2013, Music Health Alliance has helped more than 40,000 members of the music community and saved over $160 million in healthcare costs. Eighty-six percent of every dollar donated goes directly to programs and services, and each $1 donation provides $30 in life-saving healthcare resources.
