On this episode of Da Fixx, we had such an engaging and uplifting atmosphere as we discussed mental health awareness and spirituality. Our special guest, Jon Keith from Indie Tribe, shared his experiences with mental health and how he uses music to help others.

The 25-year-old CHH artist from San Diego, California, opened up about his latest project, which focuses on mental health awareness. He believes that music is a powerful tool to connect with people who struggle with similar issues. We were blown away by his transparency and vulnerability as an artist.

Mental Health Awareness and Personal Growth: Finding Hope in Music

One of the songs that really resonated with us was “Uncomfortable.” It’s amazing how John Keith can express his emotions so authentically through his music. Another track, “2 AM,” featuring Andy Mineo, touched on the feeling of loneliness during the pandemic, which I’m sure many of us can relate to.

But one song that truly struck a chord with us was “The Bridge.” It’s about Jon Keith’s personal struggle with suicidal thoughts and how he finds hope in Jesus’ sacrifice. Mental health is such an important topic, and I appreciate Jon Keith addressing it within the Christian faith.

We also discussed the significance of being honest about mental health challenges. We highlight the need for self-reflection and understanding why we think the way we do. It’s so important to address our mental health issues and seek support from loved ones.

We also emphasized the importance of disconnecting from negative influences and prioritizing self-care. Taking breaks, engaging in activities that bring joy, and surrounding ourselves with positive influences can have a significant impact on our mental well-being.

We were truly inspired by this episode and the conversations around mental health and personal growth. It reminded us of the power of music and how it can bring hope and healing to those who need it.
