Check out this article on rapper Charles Hamilton. Charles discusses his struggle with his career and personal life as both seemed to collide. Though everything seemed to go well in the beginning of his career and things looked great on the outside, it was a lot different behind the scenes. Charles experienced the stress of the music industry and was dealing with an undiagnosed bipolar disorder. He found himself depressed and alone, as he separated his self from families and friends. His behavior became erratic and unpredictable.
Charles and his team are not afraid nor are they ashamed to share his story and I find that amazing. The music industry usually hides this type of struggle and honestly should share more stories like these. You never know who it’s going to help or who’s life it can potentially save. You are not alone.
