Ya'll...this episode is CRAY! Okay, I'll admit it, that's a predictable pun from our end. But all jokes aside, getting to know CRAY was so enlightening for us, and we think it will be for you too. Throughout her mental health journey, she has learned a lot of valuable information that many of us can grow from. When we hear about artists who've "made it" or watch someone "start from the bottom and make it to the top" on our favourite TV shows, it gives us hope, determination, and drive... but many of us tend to forget about all the work and sacrifice it takes in between each step. Starting a career in music can be incredibly unreliable for many people, so CRAY reminds us that it's important to address that obstacle first! Even though there are many rewards in a music career, there are many challenges too. How do we take care of our mental well-being to make sure we don't lose that initial drive and ambition? And finally... a lot of who we are has to do with being inspired by the people around us, but often we run into people we disagree with. Well...many of us are familiar with "cancel culture". This brings us to the question: can you support an artist whose morals you disagree with, but who makes good music?

CRAY's music is available on all streaming platforms!

PS: This episode marks the end of Season 2, so we want to use this opportunity to once again give a huge thank you to every guest who has been on this show and every person who has supported it. We planted the seeds and you all nourished it to experience it's growth, and while it grew, so did we from all the lesson we learned.

Making music is vulnerable. Releasing it is even more vulnerable and scary. And then after all of that, having the courage to talk about the inner workings of our mind too? Wow.
