SK Shlomo promotes mental health awareness on new material

SK Shlomo is a record breaking beatboxer, World Looping Champion, and collaborator with Ed Sheeran, Imogen Heap, Bjork and Damon Albarn. This is his new alternative pop anthem, ‘Invisible’ taken from forthcoming debut album, ‘Surrender’.

Shlomo comments: “This music is a big deal for me because the album is about my struggle with PTSD and depression and it’s the first time I’ve talked about it in public. With you behind me, I feel like I could stand up, tell my story and sing my songs with a depth and truth that I’ve never had the courage to share before.”

The development of ‘Surrender’ is funded by PledgeMusic, and fans who support Shlomo are encouraged to stand up for mental health awareness: “Mental health affects everyone, which is why if we hit the target, a percentage of your Pledges will go to YoungMinds, an amazing charity.”

Headbanging for healthier minds? An interview with the founder of Heavy Metal Therapy

When we think of therapy you might imagine sitting awkwardly on a sofa while a stern middle-aged man wearing glasses scribbles away on his notepad.
