Gig Review: Tom A. Smith at The Chameleon

Nina Smith on Music and Mental Health

I’d like to talk about the quiet divorce I had with music. I’m ready to share my unhealthy relationship with my career and the effect it had on my mental health. I’m not sure why I feel the need to share this, but I do. Maybe it’s to help other artists? Maybe it’s cathartic? Whatever the reason, I’d like to share how my drive to become a successful music artist eventually made me ill.
