Music saved me.
I think that music has saved me time and time again.
Music saved me two or three times over.
Music has been more so the arm of God around me.
The Music Saved Me Podcast a podcast about the power of music.
I'm Walker Hayes, and I'm here to talk about how important the gift of music is an outside source of therapy, but also just a therapeutic, creative way to express myself.
My name is Jelly Roll. My mother struggled with a lot of mental health stuff. She didn't leave her room very much, but when she would, she would come down to the kitchen and she would play records, and the whole house would just flock to the kitchen, all six seven of us, you know. And I think that was the beginning of music starting to save my life.
My name is Black Back.
I'm a neoclassical composer and pianist from Detroit, Michigan. I believe that musicians have a great power, and to use that power in a way that is of service to others is exactly why we were given the power in the first place.
