Kim Franklin is Blank Instrument

Today on Mental Health Matters, we’re joined by Kim Franklin — the recording artist behind Blank Instrument — whose work is quietly reshaping the musical landscape. Kim’s journey as a singer‑songwriter is one of courage, curiosity, and deep emotional honesty, and in our conversation she opens up about the moments that shaped her path, including the profound gratitude she feels for a bequest that helped bring her long‑awaited album to life.Kim is a rising star who moves effortlessly between genres, blending folk, country, indie and alternative textures into something uniquely her own. Her versatility isn’t just musical — it’s emotional. She writes from the places where change, grief, hope, and reinvention meet, and her ability to bridge those worlds is part of what makes her voice so compelling.In this episode, we explore her creative evolution, the generosity that supported her dream, and the way she continues to carve out space for authenticity in an industry that often asks artists to fit neatly into one box. Kim doesn’t fit the box — she expands it.Settle in for a conversation that is tender, thoughtful, and full of the kind of insight that reminds us why stories like hers matter.Discover more about Blank Instrument - Blank Instrumentor follow her socials @blankinstrument Be My GuestIf you’re interested in being a guest on Mental HealthMatters: Voices of Change, please complete the form on my website - https://mindfulartstherapy.com.au/mental-health-matters-voices-of-change-podcasts/ About Mindful Arts TherapyMindful Arts Therapy creates safe, empowering spaces wherecreativity becomes a pathway to healing.
