Healing Through Music
About
Land Sky Records’ Healing Through Music program is a trauma-informed youth musical mentorship initiative. This program empowers youth through the expressive arts of music and video production. We foster their capabilities by encouraging them to express themselves freely. From lyrical development to the final video production, we equip youth with the tools to harness the power of expression and address trauma constructively.
Conceived by recording engineer Jeremiah Otis, Healing Through Music adopts a trauma-informed approach to music-making and video production. It empowers youth by facilitating their self-discovery and growth through the expressive arts. From lyrical development to the culmination of video production, artists equip youth with the knowledge and skills to harness the power of expression and address trauma in a positive manner.
Since 2023, Fort Albany First Nation secured funding from the Choose Life Fund, enabling the provision of programming tailored to the needs of children and youth residing on the reserve. With this support, Healing Through Music has been empowered to expand its assistance to young individuals within the community.
