Abstract	The COVID-19 global pandemic has delivered a significant career shock at every level of the music sector, bringing with it renewed recognition of the vulnerability of many creative people. Multiple research approaches are needed to understand the consequences of the pandemic for musicians as workers and the ways in which musicians frame and describe their career choices. In this paper, I offer a way to amplify our listening to musicians' stories through combining narrative inquiry with a narrative therapy lens as a means of tuning into musicians' background music--the guiding beliefs that shape professional identity development and artistic practice. Simon's narrative portrait forms the centrepiece of this article. Through exploring how his approach to informal learning developed and sustained his professional identity, Simon's story demonstrates how a convergence framework of narrative inquiry and narrative therapy can be harnessed to understand identity continuity in musicians' careers and the ways in which musicians respond to career development challenges.
