The Transformation of Connor Phelan at Beats Bus Records

Introduction:

Connor Phelan, a talented music producer with a Master’s in Music Production, embarked on a challenging journey when he joined Beats Bus Records. Despite his undeniable potential, Connor was grappling with severe anxiety, eating disorders, and even suicidal thoughts, presenting a formidable hurdle for both his personal and professional growth.

Background:

When Connor first stepped into Beats Bus Records, his mental health struggles were evident, overshadowing his remarkable skills in music production. Recognising his potential and realising the need for a holistic approach, the management at Beats Bus decided to take proactive steps to support Connor.

Beats Bus conducted a thorough assessment of Connor’s needs and situation. Understanding the importance of addressing both mental health and professional development, the team devised a bespoke mentorship program. Recognising the correlation between physical well-being and mental health, Beats Bus tutor encouraged Connor to join a gym and even picked him up and dropped him off for every session to ensure his attendance.

Counselling and Job Realignment:

Acknowledging the gravity of Connor’s mental health challenges, Beats Bus arranged counselling sessions to provide him with the necessary emotional support. Simultaneously, recognising that a shift to a more creatively fulfilling role was essential, Beats Bus helped Connor find a job more aligned with his passion and creativity within the music industry at Vulcan Sports Academy. 

Project Completion and Album Release:

With the support of his newfound mentorship and a tailored work environment, Connor was able to focus and complete existing projects. The positive atmosphere at Beats Bus Records allowed him to channel his creativity effectively, leading to the successful release of his first solo album “Finding Faith”. Below are 2 album releases that are self produced with his 2nd release Bare Fruit being co-produced by Beats Bus Records mentor Kobby Taylor as part as his mentorship for free.
