The Healing Power of Music & Losing Your Mom to Suicide with Singer/Songwriter Rett Madison

Dying of Laughter

Today we discuss the loss of Rett's mom to suicide in 2019 when Rett was 21. Rett Madison (she/they) is a singer-songwriter from West Virginia who, since moving to Los Angeles in 2015, has played hundreds of live shows; sung backing vocals for artists such as Lorde and Kate Nash; and opened for Five for Fighting, Shawn Colvin, JP Saxe, Theo Katzman, Lauren Ruth Ward, David Ryan Harris, Scary Pockets, and more. Ahead of her forthcoming debut album "Pin-Up Daddy," she has been featured in publications like Billboard, American Songwriter, and Rolling Stone, where her music was described as "simultaneously brazen and vulnerable," giving her a place "in the new school of acclaim-worthy troubadours." @rettmadison
