Music makes things better…always<br />

Meet Eliot Kennedy – The Maestro Behind the Music<br />

Songwriter, Producer and Recording Artist<br />

“Music is the backstage pass to our souls”<br />

We are extremely honoured and privileged to introduce<br />

’s exclusive Head Producer,<br />

Eliot Kennedy, a world-renowned songwriter and<br />

record producer.<br />

Eliot says “I have had the opportunity as a music creator to benefit<br />

from the power of music, so my career has also always been a cathartic<br />

experience, as the actual music I am creating has its own effect on me. This<br />

has served me as a mental health tonic. Music has saved my life more than<br />

once. Literally.<br />

Throughout the most difficult times of my life, and in particular when my<br />

mother was sectioned in Rotherham General Hospital’s psychiatric ward<br />

when I was 12 years old, music saved me. Kate Bush’s Hounds of Love was<br />

the soundtrack to that painful time. It gave me meaning and strength to<br />

admit that I was human, but also gave me inspiration and hope.<br />

It is a lesson I have never forgotten. I also know how my music had a huge<br />

part of bringing my mum back from the brink. After suicide attempts, my<br />

music gave my mum hope.”<br />

“The power of<br />

music is simply<br />

magical.”<br />

Eliot’s first global songwriting success, the Spice Girls’ smash hit single “Say You’ll<br />

Be There”, was followed by a string of major hits written and produced for Celine<br />

Dion, Bryan Adams, Boyzone, Blue, S Club 7, Five, Billie Piper and Atomic<br />

Kitten. In 1997, Eliot won an Ivor Novello for Boyzone’s “Picture Of You”, and in<br />

2006 his song “Never Gonna Break My Faith” which he wrote for Aretha Franklin,<br />

was awarded a Grammy Award.<br />

Eliot’s vision<br />

Eliot’s vision for ’s is to help prepare users for self-exploration therapy.<br />

Eliot’s vision for ’s is to help prepare users for self-exploration for therapy, music a user can play whilst<br />

getting themselves in the right place to receive help. It helps with meditation, relaxation techniques, etc.<br />

A therapist will help a client to relax before starting any kind of treatment therapy. In<br />

this instance we are providing a resource that allows our users to “get in the zone” by<br />

listening to music that we have curated and created specifically to their particular<br />

mental health condition.<br />

Music assists the body in generating dopamine and natural endorphins, and helping keep<br />

cortisol levels in check. High cortisol levels are a prime factor in anxiety and stress.<br />

Alongside our mental health categories with curated compositions for anxiety, stress,<br />

depression, OCD and PTSD, we also recognize that our mental health requires<br />

help in many other areas too, including motivational tool, or a mechanism to assist<br />

concentration, and of course, the big one, SLEEP!<br />

Here’s a bit more about some of our<br />

categories:<br />

Stress Designed to help the listener unload the thoughts of the day, this relaxing<br />

collection contains suites that are all around 10 minutes long, which is the amount of time it<br />

takes us to get ourselves into a relaxing frame of mind and let go of all stressful thoughts.<br />

Anxiety Anxiety can take over a person’s thoughts and intentions, so we have designed<br />

these suites of music to help the listener find a peaceful place to be ready to receive<br />

therapy, whether that be in the form of our Lived Experience material or to simply assist in<br />

relaxation or meditation.<br />

Depression A much-misunderstood condition and one that can overrun our intentions<br />

and positivity, these collections of music are designed to be uplifting and positive, whilst<br />

maintaining the relaxing and meditative themes of<br />

. Music releases<br />

dopamine (the feel-good stuff) and controls cortisol (the anxiety-inducing stuff).<br />

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Anyone who has experienced this<br />

condition knows how powerful it can be. We have designed this collection to take the listener<br />

on a journey that will take them out of their thoughts and occupy them, while at the same<br />

time helping to bring down their heart rate and relax the mind. This suite creates the<br />

perfect soundtrack to<br />

’s lived experience content.<br />

PTSD The music in this category will be relaxing and meditative whilst maintaining the soft,<br />

often classical musical approach. Each suite will encompass scientifically proven techniques to<br />

help the listener find peace.<br />

It’s like creating a soundtrack to therapy<br />

Focus will be<br />

with a groove: lo-fi, chillout music to help you focus on<br />

the job at hand, whether that’s homework, a dissertation or any other task that requires<br />

concentration. Consider this a soundtrack to your study.<br />

Energy will be<br />

with tempo: that you can use for waking up or exercising;<br />

it’s also perfect for when you want more upbeat mind music. Dance grooves and uplifting<br />

melodies can assist in you physical wellbeing as well as your mental health. A soundtrack<br />

to your wake up and go!<br />

Sleep Using environmental sounds (ocean waves, rainfall, forest sounds) to create<br />

continuous background noise along with hypnotic sounds that assist in bringing the mind<br />

to peace and enabling the fall into the sleep that we all need. This one is the soundtrack to<br />

your sleep.<br />
