Ep 17: The Music industry, Lupus, and Mental health

Uncommon Faith

This weeks episode Amber and Ashley are joined by Producer, Singer, songwriter, musician Christopher “C-Ray” Roberts to talk all about the music business. He shares about how he got a raw publishing deal in the beginning of his career that had control over all his music and kept him from working with new artists. He remembers how he first met Ashley and they started working together on music. At the same time that his mom suddenly fell ill and nearly died. Which was the beginning of several losses within his family. C-Ray shares about his lupus diagnosis shortly after all this tragedy and how it affected him mentally and emotionally. They discuss how difficult it can’t be for Artists of all kinds. How what artists create whether its painting, or music, or the hair industry like Amber. It’s tied into our identity, it’s our outlet. When we face rejection it can cause depression, anxiety, among so many other things.
