Role: Creator of a Platform Bridging Music & Mental Health

About the Guest:

Rich Vysion, the conscious rap luminary born in the Bronx and now flourishing in Brooklyn, unveils his latest chapter as a published author—a testament to his unwavering triumph against all odds. His book, From Victim to Victor: Transforming Trauma into Triumph, chronicles his journey of overcoming mental health struggles and using art as a tool for healing. Known for his braggadocious lyricism and cinematically musical tracks—crafted from orchestral pieces, haunting piano motifs, and ominously entrancing basslines—Rich has created a platform that bridges the gap between music and mental health.
