This champion interview explores topics such as mental health, creation myths, the primal nature of singing, resistance to narrative, expressing unnameable experiences, the healing power of music and art, being a bridge between personal experience and others, navigating political expectations and public projection, and the intersection of queerness and music.
Hamed shares his journey through loss, unexpected challenges, and the impact of suicide on his mental health. Stepping away from the music industry, he focused on self-reflection and growth.
Hamed stresses the importance of self-compassion, shedding harmful beliefs, and embracing sensitivity. Hamed advocates for exploring self-expression, giving oneself permission to play and experiment.
Highlighting the power of choice and recognising suffering's structural nature, Hamed emphasises listening to feelings and the body.
