Kaz Hawkins - Surviving

Музыка

#KazHawkins - #Surviving Using music to give hope! #Awareness #MentalHealth
From the age of four, I was sexually abused by an uncle. That predestined me for failure for most of my life. Pain and horror were the foundation of my childhood but I refuse to let it define me anymore. Instead, I now use my story in song to give hope to those who still suffer, those who haven't found their voice yet, for survivors of child abuse around the world.
I wrote this song to my uncle, one of the first songs I wrote. I hated him! I didn't get justice because I was deemed mentally unfit to testify because of the damage he caused but I have my justice now standing on stage & using my voice in song. I am not surviving anymore I AM THRIVING! This special piano/voice show is about my life, warts and all. It angers me to sing SURVIVING because I have to look him in the eye each time & relive what happened but I do it for those who need it. I am not silent anymore. If this show is to represent my life then it has to be all of it! If you need support on issues I sing about please contact your local charity, don't suffer in silence.

    You make us Irish proud, Kaz! I just read your story of survival, and I find you inspirational. I am also a survior of sexual abuse, domestic violence, and have clinical depression, so I understand where the pain comes from. I am blessed to have found your music! Much love and respect, 🥰💜

    ❤ ALL of Kaz’s songs, and her 👍 talent for being able to change from one genre/style to another w/o losing any of the emotion and feeling she emotes with each one! Although the lyrics to this don’t apply to me personally, I do understand why she wrote them (based on the short history in the description). They weren’t meant only for herself, but for all others who have suffered through any pain from abusive relationships, etc. I’m truly amazed and touched when I watch her perform, and yet she’s not well known or given the credit she deserves (at least in the US 🇺🇸 where I live), and even by the small # of views on ALL of the videos, along with the lack of comments! IDK what’s wrong with people today who can’t recognize or appreciate her 🎤’s. I think she needs to be ‘heard’ much more - by women, men, AND everywhere in the world 🌎, not only for her ‘covers’, but also for her own lyrics as a songwriter!

Thank you for the emotions your music is giving me. I Love you to bits. We need more artists like you. Glad I discovered you.
