Vince Freeman The Proper Mental Podcast
-
- Mental Health
Welcome to episode 176 with Vince Freeman, a singer and songwriter who is about to release a debut album that has been a decade in the making.
Vince started out by running and playing club shows and regularly racking up 300 gigs a year. He appeared on The Voice in 2012, written multi-million streamer dance tracks, had 5 European Top 10 hits and played at the FA Cup Final and The Royal Albert Hall. He even has a thank you on Ed Sheeran’s debut album.
He’s also experienced mental health issues and spent six years living in chronic pain with a debilitating back issue that required multiple surgeries and threatened his ability to walk and play music.
In this episode, Vince and I chat about his introduction to music and how he started writing songs and we chat about chasing fame, going on the voice, losing several years to a couple of compressed discs and 3 spinal surgeries and the impact these things have had on his mental health along the way.
And we chat about the pandemic forced a temporary career change and how making a coffee and a chance encounter led to his return to music and his debut album which is due out in June.
This is an incredible story of bad luck, resilience, hard work and good karma and it was wonderful to hear all about it. Vince is the loveliest man it is impossible not to root for him!
