Mental health advocate and beloved vocalist Patty Walters sits down with Haulix to discuss life in the modern music business.
Pop punk isn’t all fun and games. Not every band writes about friendship, pizza, and road trips to summer festivals. The artists who make it big in 2019 take a stance on social issues and advocate for those unable to make their voice heard. Among them, Patty Walters and the other members of As It Is are saying the things that need to be said to make others understand that it is okay to not be okay.
As It Is has been blazing a trail in alternative music all their own for the last several years. Their latest release, The Great Depression, takes aims at many of the issues facing young people today with unflinching honesty and infectious hooks. It’s the kind of music that motivates people to make positive changes in their life.
On this episode of Inside Music, host James Shotwell sits down with Patty Walters of As It Is to discuss mental health, creativity, and the realities of working in music.
