Rhys de Burgh Part 2: Health, Income and Longevity in the Music Industry
Thu Feb 05 2026
In Part 2, the conversation moves into what came next — when momentum turned into responsibility.
As SoSo’s debut album: "So Much for Second Chances" topped the ARIA charts on its release, Rhys breaks down how the band transitioned from passion project to a genuine source of income. We explore what actually sits behind that shift: the financial realities of making music sustainable, the pressure that comes with success, and the systems required to keep things moving forward.
This episode also dives deeply into Rhys’ health journey. Touring, performing, late nights, travel, and inconsistent routines all place a real load on the body and mind. Rhys shares how he learned to manage energy, recovery, and workload, and how his approach to health had to evolve as music became his primary focus.
Rather than burning bright and burning out, this conversation is about building longevity — supporting creativity with structure, protecting health while chasing opportunity, and designing a lifestyle that allows success to continue without breaking down along the way.
