Episode #6: Mental Illness and Meditation: with Jonathan Horstmann, Urban Heat

The Power of Positivity Podcast with Nick Harris

Jonathan Horstmann is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and the creative force behind Urban Heat, an American post-punk band from Austin, Texas. Urban Heat had a viral moment on TikTok in 2022, with their single “Have You Ever” being viewed over a million times.
I'd been into Urban Heat for a while, and after I saw them perform live, I knew I had to get Jonathan on the podcast! Jonathon was such a commanding force on stage - his epic performance, stage presence and charisma blew me away!! I’d never seen an African American man front that kind of band…I’d never seen anything like it!
In this episode, Jonathan shares his deeply personal story of overcoming a heroin addiction, how it led him to discover meditation and sound healing, and how he's incorporated these practices into his daily life to manage the symptoms of the mental illnesses he suffers from.
Check out the official music video for Have You Ever, and Urban's Heat's
