Surviving Chronic Illness: Indie Star Youth Lagoon's Masterpiece Journey

Indie musician Trevor Powers, known for his project Youth Lagoon, opens up about his battle with chronic illness that left him voiceless and physically debilitated. Despite the challenges, Powers found solace in journaling and used the experience to create his latest album, "Heaven Is a Junkyard." The album showcases a rich new sweetness in Powers' music, blending delicate piano and fragile vocals with warm bass. Powers reflects on his upbringing in a devoutly evangelical family in Idaho and how his uncle's influence introduced him to a wider range of music. He credits his wife for helping him through the difficult times and expresses gratitude for the healing power of creativity.
