Last ride
Single Available Now
This song means a lot to me for numerous reasons. Besides being my first single, this song touches on a topic that most people aren’t comfortable speaking about, mental health.
As someone who has experienced this first hand, I’ve found that music has been very therapeutic for me, whether I’m listening to music or writing my own. My hope is to spread awareness concerning mental health through my music.
Mental health covers a very broad spectrum of invisible illnesses ranging from depression to anxiety to contemplating suicide, just to name a few. Because these are not visible illnesses that we can see, people tend to look over them, not take them seriously or ignore them all together.
September is National Suicide Prevention Month but we should normalize discussing depression, anxiety, mental health and suicide all year long. The song “Last Ride” touches on this subject along with other invisible illnesses. If you, or anyone you know suffers from any invisible illnesses and you are seeking help, please don’t hesitate to reach out for support. Below are provided links for online and phone support.
