“We were overwhelmed with the response we got after releasing “Sleep” and were touched by how it connected with our audience on a personal level. We wanted to further work on similar lines with our new EP ‘l l l l’ but then gradually shifted the whole focus on doing something to create awareness regarding mental well-being and then reached out to all our artist friends to be a part of the same as it’s not about doing it alone but building a community and doing it together, for the cause. We are happy how a small idea can be maximized in such a way with everyone’s support” says Uddipan Sarmah, front-man of Aswekeepsearching.

The topic of mental health has found various platforms for discussion over the years. Now, its our mutual love and dependence on music that would facilitate the propagation of this topic and help raise awareness.

“Mental health is something that NEEDS to be addressed on a bigger scale and is something that needs Immediate attention. I’m excited to be a small part in this campaign that will help take a step towards the awareness for mental wellness ” says Sanjay Kumar of FOI, who is also taking part in the campaign.
