Listen Later

In this very special bonus episode of The Happier Life Project, airing on World Mental Health Day and marking the podcast’s four-year anniversary, Gabby Sanderson sits down with singer-songwriter Adam Taylor, better known as ADMT, to explore the powerful intersection of music and mental health.

ADMT is an artist unafraid to de-stigmatise conversations about mental health through his music. Known for writing from the heart, his songs are deeply personal, reflecting his lived experiences, from growing up in a challenging family environment to navigating his own mental health struggles. Steeped in perseverance and Northern grit, ADMT brings a grounded authenticity to his music that resonates with fans.

In the conversation, Gabby and ADMT discuss how music has always been a cathartic outlet for emotions. For ADMT, writing songs has been a way to process feelings, express vulnerability, and cope with mental health challenges. The viral artist emphasizes that sharing personal struggles through songwriting can be transformative, not only for the artist but also for listeners who may feel less alone when they hear someone speak openly about their experiences.

Gabby and ADMT also reflect on loneliness and the importance of connection. In today’s digital age, isolation is a significant mental health challenge, but music offers comfort, companionship, and a sense of community during difficult times. Beyond this, they explore the pressures that come with success in the music industry, while ADMT shares how he manages stress and prioritizes self-care, highlighting the need to maintain grounding practices and supportive connections while navigating the demands of a career in music.

ADMT’s latest single, “Forget You” (or “F* You”),** showcases his talent for blending candid storytelling with memorable melodies, and fans can look forward to his UK tour this October, where he’ll bring his music and message of vulnerability and resilience directly to audiences.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in music, mental health, or the power of vulnerability, offering heartfelt stories, actionable insights, and inspiration for navigating life’s challenges with honesty and resilience.
