@noahkahanmusic: I present to you: The Busyhead Project. When I was a kid I didn’t know what was wrong with me. I had all these dark thoughts and dark feelings and felt alone and scared of my brain all the time. I had an understanding family and friends and a supportive community but I felt afraid to talk about what I was going through because I was scared I would sound crazy. Some of the only times I felt connected to anyone was through music. I’d hear a song that felt like it’s lyrics were ripped straight from my heart and my experience and for 3 or 4 minutes I felt less alone and less afraid. As I began to make music I made an effort to write lyrics about how I was feeling, in the hopes that maybe someone out there would feel less alone when they listened to it, like I did growing up. As a non college educated professional musician this felt like all I could do: to try to make people feel heard and understood and less uncomfortable in their own brains. I never felt equipped to endeavor anything beyond just writing songs. This year, my team and I started talking about how we could push the effort further. We wanted to find a bigger way to reduce stigma and provide resources to people struggling with their mental health. My incredible management team and many other wonderful partners and I got together to create a charity, with the goal to raise a million dollars for organizations specializing in mental health awareness and resources.. I’ve been given so many wonderful opportunities in my career and it really is all for nothing if I don’t try and give back to the community that has supported me. If I can help anyone get through their struggles, it will be the proudest achievement of my career. So for anyone who wants to be a part of this journey, there’s a l!nk n b!0 for you to take action and learn more. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealth #mentalhealthmatters #therapy #anxiety #depresion #noahkahan #noahkahanmusic #stickseason #growingsideways
