Season 3 - Episode 6: My Chat with Andre Manella
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week on The Sober Connection, I’m joined by musician Andre Manella for a really honest conversation about sobriety, touring, creativity, and navigating the music industry without alcohol.
Originally from Switzerland and now based in New Zealand, Andre has spent more than 20 years performing across Europe and NZ, playing over 2000 shows throughout his career. We talk about the drinking culture that often comes with life as a musician, what changed for him around three years ago, and what it’s actually like touring sober in an industry where alcohol is everywhere.
This episode explores identity, social pressure, creativity, mental health, and the reality of learning how to be fully present without relying on alcohol.
Whether you’re sober curious, alcohol-free, or simply questioning your relationship with drinking, this is such an insightful conversation.
