Our Lady J Instagram – I’m an addict in recovery. Without my sobriety, I’m sure I would be dead. But my first escape wasn’t alcohol or drugs… it was MUSIC. Playing the piano and singing saved me from myself. It dulled the pain of not feeling understood. It made me feel INSIDE life, when so often I felt I was on the outside. I’ve worked hard to heal this need to escape. I’m now living on the INSIDE of life, not on the outside, and in this recovered life, music has taken on a new meaning. The exploration of sound is no longer an opiate, it is a means of deepening my existence in this world. My dear sis @tranterjustin and I have collaborated on writing songs that explore the love, pain, struggle, social change, and high-pitched fever of these times. If you are in New York, please come hear their debut at @lincolncenter on February 15th. Details via the link in my bio 🎶 🎼 🎵 🎹 ❤️
