Come Back To Earth | Music & Mental Health

What happens when the song you’re singing no longer fits the person you’ve become?

Growth isn’t always a loud breakthrough; sometimes it is the quiet act of stepping out of the center to see the entire picture. Today, we sit with returning guest Charlie Void to explore the messy, honest alchemy of reinvention.

We follow the thread from being dropped by a label to finding a new rhythm with Golden Factory Records in Florence. This is a meditation on the shift from being a "pop artist" to becoming a producer, and the autonomy found in a 15-track album that finally feels like home. Whether you are navigating a career transition or seeking artistic autonomy, this conversation is an invitation to trust your own timeline.

The Thread of This Conversation:
  • The "Threshold" of leaving the center to find your perspective
  • Shaping EDM and Pop sensibilities into an honest body of work
  • The Mental Health of the independent artist: Moving beyond marketability
  • What it means to create music that simply "needs to exist"
  • Stewardship of your own art after a major industry shift

What is Come Back To Earth | Music & Mental Health?

What does it cost to make music, and what does it give back? Come Back to Earth is a weekly music interview podcast where host J.D. Murgolo sits down with musicians and songwriters to explore mental health, creative survival, and the stories hidden behind the songs.

We go beyond the stage to uncover the wounds, turning points, and hard-won hopes that shape an artist's life. Through honest conversations about the creative process, music and mental health, and what it means to keep going, this is a show where the music is the doorway — and the soul is the destination.

Because the most important thing an artist makes isn't the record. It's the decision to come back to themselves.
