In August of 2018 William and Jared began working on music therapy. William needed to find an avenue of expression to help him deal with his Schizoaffective (Schizophrenia and bi-polar) disorder. Right when they started in music Jared was diagnosed with PTSD from childhood trauma.
Our writing continued and we were joined by a friend who excitedly encouraged us to share what we were writing.. With his help we organized a set and in September of 2019 we played at a suicide awareness walk. Life brought more changes (our friend Brian left the group) and more trauma.. We also met Andrew who upon hearing our music said, "I need to record you guys.. "
Receiving counseling for the trauma had awakened Will and Jared to who they are today and to this work they do with www.madhattermusic.org This is our life purpose, to use and find and promote and create music that lifts the hands that hang down. to cheer the broken and mend their hearts . Music doesn't care who you voted for, it doesn't care how bad you messed up your life, it is a universal language that unites us as one human race.
Like music unites us nobody wants to lose their loved ones to self harm. By building a culture that focuses on behavior we label people for their mistakes. many times those mistakes have root in mental illness or childhood trauma. By only focusing on the behavior we neglect the cause for it in the first place. Music therapy saved us and has given us a powerful voice to lift others !
