Music, Creativity & Mental Health: Luca Fogale

This is a wonderful conversation with a deeply thoughtful and insightful artist, Luca Fogale. He is a Canadian singer/songwriter who hails from Burnaby, British Columbia. He's been twice nominated for Juno awards (Best Adult Contemporary Album). We discussed Luca's explorations of psychoolgical experience: the tension between light and dark, between apathy and optimism; we explored the therapeutic role that creative practice plays for him; we discussed the necessity of dropping of the ego, yet all the while recognizing that creativity comes from self; we talked about virtue and develping character, developing a better and more virtuous future self. In large part the conversation was about courage and a faith in moving forward. All in all, he's a delightful human being and it is a heart-warming and uplifting conversation.
