[Ep. 42] Processing Trauma Through Songwriting | Fredo Viola (Musician & Multi-Media Artist)


Listen Later

Music was the force that connected me back to myself. It was my Kintsugi - the Japanese art of putting broken bowls back together with gold. I was broken from trauma and the vibrations of music brought my back into my body and taught me capacity and, essentially, transmutation of energy.

On today's episode, I invited by dear friend Fredo Viola on to speak about using music to process trauma. He is an accomplished composer, singer, and performer who's newest album releases on April 9th, 2021. This particular album, titled My New Head, is truly about transmuting pain into beauty & I use it as a compass for this discussion.

You can purchase his album on vinyl, or digitally, at  http://mynewhead.com.
