MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCATION
Hannah Byers remains open about her experience with mental illness and emphasizes the importance of shedding light on the topic of mental health. In conversation with the founder of The Noisy Brain Project Hannah said, "Taking someone else's battle and turning it into something worth being proud of, like music, is truly a gift." Continuing with this idea in her own work, Hannah Byers released her debut EP, "Illuminated Dysphoria" in March 2022. Touching on topics such as neglect, concealing emotion, and learning to accept yourself, Hannah portrays the journey of battling a mental illness. In We Write About Music's review of this EP they said, "Relatable to so many who live with similar problems, Hannah has truly laid it all out there for anyone to connect the dots. Coming in at 6 total tracks, spanning right around 21 minutes in length, Illuminated Dysphoria serves as an open diary that takes chances with its themes, but is as cohesive as ever sonically." Hannah Byers stands as a role model to prove to her audience that despite challenges you face in life, you can still accomplish incredible things.
