Dirty Pop & Beyond: Michael Johnson's Rise and Reality

In this episode of Mental Health & Me, I sit down with Michael Johnson, former drummer of the early 2000s boy band Natural. Michael takes us on a journey through the highs of fame and the challenges that came with it, reflecting on his time under the management of the infamous Lou Pearlman. We delve into the making of his powerful documentary, Dirty Pop, where he exposes the darker side of his experience and the impact it had on his life and mental health. Michael opens up about the struggles he faced behind the scenes, shares vulnerable moments, and tells the listener things that seem too unbelievable to be true. Tune in for an honest conversation about the realities of fame, and how things aren't always as they seem. Find Natalie and Michael on Instagram Instagram: @NatalieSouders_ @SilkyBeats
