In this episode of From Vision to Creation, we sit down for a powerful and emotional conversation with honestav—a genre-defying musician and storyteller whose viral hit “I’d Rather Overdose” became an anthem for addiction recovery, healing, and resilience.
honestav opens up about growing up in a tiny town in Missouri, living with 12+ people under one roof, and how writing poetry at age 8 became the spark for his music career. He shares how the loss of his father to an overdose inspired “I’d Rather Overdose,” the song that changed his life—and how he’s still learning to carry the emotional weight that comes with helping others heal through his vulnerability.
We dive deep into what it takes to keep going after 10 years of posting songs with no traction, why he turned down million-dollar record deals to stay true to his sound, and how social media has added new pressure for artists trying to remain authentic. honestav’s story is raw, moving, and filled with wisdom for anyone chasing a dream or navigating personal loss.
If you’ve ever questioned your path, doubted your worth, or felt the pressure to compromise your truth—this episode will remind you to keep going, keep creating, and never stop believing in the power of your own voice.
