In this deeply personal interview, Brigid speaks with pop artist Michael Ahmad about his third studio album, “Call of the Void”, released on May 5th. After a ten year hiatus from music, Michael returns with a body of work born from immense personal tragedy — including his divorce, the loss of both his parents in 2024, and the ongoing war in Gaza affecting his Palestinian family.

With raw honesty and introspection, Michael explores how grief, spirituality, and art intertwine to form a path toward healing. The conversation offers a moving glimpse into how engaging with creativity can help someone emerge from heartbreak and how connection persists beyond loss.
