Through the Musicians For Mental Health podcast we hope to raise awareness around the topic and help fans to understand that they are not alone in their battles, that it is ok to talk about, and that it is ok to seek help. While we are not licensed counselors or therapists we will give our perspective on mental health through the life experiences we have had, and will allow the artists to do the same.
In this episode of Musicians For Mental Health, we welcome Damon and Tyler for an open and honest conversation about the challenges of navigating mental health, personal growth, and finding your identity through life's many changes. Throughout the discussion, we explore how different experiences shape us and the importance of continuing to learn about ourselves along the way.
Damon shares his journey with sobriety, reflecting on the challenges, victories, and perspective that have come with it, while Tyler opens up about his experiences with depression and what that road has looked like for him. Together, we also discuss self-identity, the ongoing process of figuring out who we are, and how that understanding can evolve over time. Along the way, we briefly touch on the connection between physical and mental health, and how taking care of one can often have a positive impact on the other.
As always, this conversation isn't about pretending to have all the answers. It's about sharing experiences, being vulnerable, and reminding one another that growth looks different for everyone. Whether you've faced similar struggles or simply want to hear an honest conversation about mental health, this episode offers meaningful insight and a reminder that none of us are alone in what we're going through.

Season 5 Episode 2: NESDAM (Patrick Madsen)
In this episode of Musicians For Mental Health, I had a deeply personal and powerful conversation with Patrick Madsen, known as NESDAM. Patrick bravely opened up about his mental health journey, discussing his struggles with depression, the loss of close friends, and a past suicide attempt. He shared his raw and honest perspective on the regret that followed and how he has worked to move forward, heal, and grow from those experiences.
One of the most meaningful aspects of our discussion was how music became an outlet for his emotions. Patrick spoke about his new album, Find The Truth and how each song became a journal entry of his struggles and victories, capturing moments in time that helped him process his feelings. We also talked about his recent signing with Brian "Head" Welch’s label, XOVR Records, and how this new chapter is shaping his music and message.
This episode is a powerful testament to resilience, self-reflection, and the healing power of music. Patrick’s story is one of pain, perseverance, and ultimately, hope—one that will resonate with anyone who has faced their own battles with mental health. Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about suicide, loss, and depression—please listen with care.NESDAM on Social Media
