Stressed Out: A Song of Resilience and Support for Mental Health

When I released my latest single, Stressed Out, I wanted it to be more than just a song—it became a statement about resilience and determination. While I don’t have personal experiences with anxiety or depression, I’ve dedicated this project to those who do, as I deeply admire their strength in facing such challenges. For every pre-save of the song, I pledged $1 to the ADAA to support their mission of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. 

For me, Stressed Out reflects the hustle and grind of chasing big dreams while navigating life’s inevitable pressures. Whether it’s balancing a demanding schedule, pursuing artistic growth, or building a music career from the ground up, stress has often been part of the process. But instead of letting it consume me, I’ve learned to channel it into motivation. This song is about finding the inner strength to keep pushing forward, even when the weight feels heavy, and coming out on top. 

Through this campaign, I’ve been inspired by the stories of people overcoming anxiety and depression. It’s a reminder that resilience isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving and turning challenges into victories. Supporting ADAA’s work gave me a chance to contribute to a community that embodies these values, and I’m proud to have been part of it.

I chose to submit my story to ADAA because I believe in the importance of supporting and amplifying the mission of mental health awareness. Through my recent song release and campaign, I had the opportunity to connect with individuals who face anxiety and depression daily. While my personal story revolves around the resilience required to pursue my goals and overcome stress, I deeply admire the courage it takes to face mental health challenges.  

By sharing Stressed Out and my journey, I hope to inspire others—whether they’re grinding toward their goals or facing mental health challenges—to keep moving forward, seek help when needed, and celebrate the strength it takes to overcome obstacles. Every step, no matter how small, is a step toward triumph.
