Joy Oladokun brought her inspiring and light-hearted energy to More or Less and spoke to us about growth and her new deluxe album. They graced the stage as the opener for Noah Kahan and John Mayer earlier this year and faced an uphill battle. Given Joy’s infectious energy and laugh, you would never guess her struggles that can be heard in her new deluxe version of her album, “Proof of Life.”

Breaking the stigma of mental health in the Asian community, thuy joins us to open up about her struggles with social media virality, anxiety, and expressing emotions. Despite the consistent push and pull of hate on the internet, thuy can turn the other cheek and lean on her friends to remind her of who she is. As she is about to hit the road on a European and UK tour in October, we were so happy to gain insight into who she is and why she is a great role model for her fans.

Radiating ethereal energy, UMI sat on the More or Less couch with us to talk us through her mindfulness techniques and the power of meditation. Performing alongside crystal bowls at her now wrapped-up Asia tour, she knows exactly how to balance her jam-packed schedule with her need to stay present, mindful, and healthy. Throughout her career, she has managed to create a space to embrace the human connection beyond the music through spirituality.

Vocal powerhouse and mental health advocate Bishop Briggs stops by More or Less to express pure transparency about her mental health, the struggles she’s faced as a woman in the music industry, and her grief after losing her sister. The discussion, while heavy, is enlightening for those who are struggling to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
