New single 'A Moment Ago' for free download in support of mental health awareness
As someone who has personally struggled with various mental health issues, I’m proud to raise my voice to encourage others to speak up and help eliminate the stigma that often accompanies mental illness. Music has always been a healing and cathartic outlet for me and I am so excited to share this song with you, which was inspired by my struggle with depression.
Thank you for listening! :)
