My name is Dr Adam Ficek and I have been involved in the music industry for 25 years as a performing artist and DJ. I have toured the world extensively at top level (EMI/Parlophone/Rough Trade) as a solo artist, band member and DJ, with various top ten 10 releases. I contribute extensively to various media outlets regarding musicians and mental health (see media page) from my clinical and musician perspective.
