Music is such a powerful tool, it's a universal language that everyone can understand, and that on its own is a beautiful thing...enough to build a community! We aim to deepen the connections in this community by providing an open, safe and judgement - free space to come as we are, express ourselves and our stories. Let's laugh, cry, feel and heal as a community.


Please note that the extent of my knowledge only goes as far as an undergraduate degree in psychology and personal experience. I am not a doctor so cannot promise accuracy in the information that is being delivered. Everything that is said in these episodes comes from my own experience, opinions and undergraduate background in psychology :)

Most of these episodes contain heavy content and can be triggering to some audiences, please make sure to take care of yourself while listening, and taking steps back as necessary! Most discussions in these episodes surround mental health struggles and the triggers that cause those struggles.


A huge thank you to the editor behind these episodes, Aylin Tamer.

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.

When we talk about being in the arts industry, we often forget that this also means being a business person, an entrepreneur.. a self-starter. The arts is more than just creating, the arts is about learning to hold value and respect for ourselves.

Challenges continue to expand as Ava talks to us about what it means being a woman in the arts too. Difficult emotions can often arise: egos and jealousy are a part of the human experience and Ava shows us what it means to overcome these feelings. Finally, we talk about how our mental state leads us to experiencing scary physical symptoms, and in her experience, it was seizures! Our environment and the people around us make up so much of who we are which can often lead us down a path of co-dependence or hyper-independence.


Stay tuned because at the end of this episode, you'll hear. piece of her song "Timeless" - a great one for uplifting your moods and your spirits!

Larkhall is a composer and a pianist, but his music goes beyond audio as he uses a system he created to have live visuals dancing in sync with his music.


It is safe to say that Larkhall has mastered creativity and experience to a whole other level than what we're used to, but this didn't come easy. Today, he enlightens us with all his lessons learnt through dealing with the repercussions of a toxic grading system, facing vulnerability through his learning, and coming out the other side more resilient than ever with an even deeper understanding of what performing really is.

For all parents out there, this one is for you, because those of us who don't have kids often forget how difficult it is to focus on ourselves while alsoooo focussing on raising children. Larkhall opens up about both the challenges and the good times that come from creating art while having kids to care for as well. How do you balance that?

Easier said than done though, right? I mean, where do you even start? And when you do start...how do you keep going when people try to take it away from you? Nick, known as MNYS, really experienced that sentiment. When reflecting on where he began and where he is now, he has shown determination, passion, and above everything else, resilience. Through stormy weather and dark paths, Nick kept his goal in mind as he continued to stride towards it. He shares what he learned along his journey in regards to how to be resourceful, how to keep going and how to build a sense of trust in those around you.


You may recognize some of Nick's music as he is the songwriter behind Thought it Was (by Iann Dior x MGK x Travis Barker), Drive You Crazy ( by Dylan Matthew x Nitti Gritti), DEAD ASF (by Damien), among many others. But if you give his music a listen, you too will quickly agree that MNYS belongs at the front of the scenes, not behind them. It was such a pleasure talking with him, he offered us so many new perspectives and ways of thinking, we cannot thank him enough for being on Music Mentality!

Today's guest Madison Olds has the superpower of not just painting a picture with her words, but to take the audience through time with her. As we time travel, Madison shares what she has learned in regards to how media plays a role in our stories and self perception, how sometimes we just need to get out of our own way, the fear of missing out on opportunities, and practicing happiness. This episode can be difficult for some listeners as we plunge into the topic of death.

It's a rough time as it is, but imagine going through this experience while also going through psychosis...leading to needing to turn to drugs.. while also needing to cope with important family members in the hospital. It's a hard time and it's only natural to have a hard time regulating our emotions throughout it all, especially the emotion of anger. What do we do other than turn to music?

You folks would love Zack's music, and for the rest of you... you would love it too but beyond just loving his music, you'd also enjoy everything you can learn from his episode!

Zack Elliott's music-making journey has taught him how much our journeys put the "art" into "artist". We discuss how much his sound reflects what he has gone through and how no matter what kind of music you make, you can't take the "you" out of mUsic (alright, enough with my play on words).

We carry the conversation into a light debate on whether or not fans like live music to sound a bit different from the original, and how making mistakes and going with the flow contributes to the art of performance. Now... if you're someone who needs to picture everyone in their underwear just to stand in front of a crowd, don't worry because we discuss overcoming stage fright.. or rather, how to work with it, and how to prepare yourself before presenting in front of crowds.

Finally, we wrap up the episode by echoing familiar sentiments you may resonate with: being lazy and being burnt out is not the same thing!

So how do we cut ourselves some slack and learn to be kinder to ourselves in moments of burnout? Is it just laziness? What the heck is the difference?

On this episode specifically, we explore her song Hurting & Healing - stay tuned to hear a sample of it in this episode! I learned a lot from Prianca, from her sweet nature and creative mind to the lessons she has learned from her journey. Her path has taken her down countless avenues of growth and realizations, some of those include the emotional investment it takes to write lyrics, and coming to the conclusion that not only is it okay not to be okay, it is necessary to give yourself the space to not be okay. We wrap up the interview with a discussion on external and internal validation and how they both play a role in our upbringing in this society.

We'd like to give a huge thank you to all the artists who have been on the show so far, and who have opened up about their journey. It's not an easy thing to do, to put your trust into strangers - but we could not do this without you! Another massive thank you to you - the listeners, who are the reason for this safe space. By simply being here right now, you are contributing to fostering a safe and loving community. Thank you for all your support!


Without further adieu... Kailee Morgue! Kailee is one of the sweetest people I've ever had the opportunity to speak to. Her music embodies so many raw, honest, and relatable feelings. In this episode, we dive into exactly that - the scarier experiences to confront... let alone talk about. Some of these include being misdiagnosed and later learning her true diagnoses, and throughout this, learning the importance of taking feedback, support, and love from her friends. In doing so, Kailee explains how she learned to communicate her needs to the people who love her so that they know how to love her right. This is so crucial to our relationship with both ourselves and those around, and though it can be scary, it is also so rewarding!


Finding yourself is hard, and when life keeps throwing you curve balls and setting you on new paths, it becomes easy to feel lost.

I am so grateful to be able to sit here and reflect on how far this podcast has come. This week's episode doesn't feature a guest artist but instead, I (Angie) am the one who is being interviewed by the Music Mentality team! Aylin (the editor) and Meag (the social media manager) help guide me through my reflections of this show so far. We talk about how it got started, how far it has come, what we have learned, the challenges and the rewards, among many other things. It's amazing to think about that day back in September when I was sitting in my bedroom at the time, thinking "hmm... this would be a cool idea for a podcast show", to today getting the privilege of talking to so many interesting and talented folks from all over the world with such cool musical background. Though this marks the last episode of Season One, I am thrilled to release Season Two in a couple of months! More to say about Season Two at the end of this episode!


Thank you all for the support so far, I cannot put into words my gratitude.

What more can we ask for? full 1 10 On today's episode, we have Mac, who goes by This Mad Desire. He's an eclectic, rock and roll, force to be reckoned with. With so many stories to share and experience to offer, This Mad Desire discusses how pain plays a role in music creation and vice versa, how we can honour the people of our past through our art, and our experience with piano lessons - particularly, what is the "right" way to teach?


Find him on any streaming platform by typing in This Mad Desire or visit his website http://thismaddesire.net


The song featured in this episode is the instrumental version of his song Operators Are Standing By which you can find on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, or any other streaming platform.

]]> On today's episode, we have Mac, who goes by This Mad Desire. He's an eclectic, rock and roll, force to be reckoned with. With so many stories to share and experience to offer, This Mad Desire discusses how pain plays a role in music creation and vice versa, how we can honour the people of our past through our art, and our experience with piano lessons - particularly, what is the "right" way to teach?


Find him on any streaming platform by typing in This Mad Desire or visit his website http://thismaddesire.net


The song featured in this episode is the instrumental version of his song Operators Are Standing By which you can find on Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube, or any other streaming platform.

Some of the topics Mikayla and I cover include what it means to have a home, and what even is a home anyway? We talk about the loss of the most important people in our lives, what loss entails and how to cope with it. And on the note of loss... so many of us experience losing ourselves and being stuck in this awkward stage, in-between feeling the heaviness of not wanting to live, but also the heaviness of not wanting to die. 

The universe has so much to offer us, and just like the universe, so does Mikayla.
