#50 - Caitlin Cusack | Mitten Backstage

Hello folks! Good to be back from my two month hiatus, and I'm feeling refreshed and ready for a great year of conversations! We've known each other for years and both attended Grand Valley State University for our music undergrads, even being members of the same piano studio for part of it!

I'll let her provide her introduction, since her bio speaks volumes about our conversation today:

Caitlin Cusack grew up in Ionia, Michigan. She attended GVSU and got a Bachelor of Arts with emphases in Voice and Piano and a Theatre Minor. After college, Caitlin worked as a high school musical theatre director, choral accompanist, musical theatre and opera stage manager, and musical theatre performer. She then worked at GVSU as Publicity and Recruitment Coordinator for the Dept. of Music, Theatre, and Dance and a church music director up until her life changing brain injury on her 26th birthday in May 2018. Post-injury she had to focus solely on rehabilitation and one year later, her Mom unexpectedly passed away from cancer on her 27th birthday in May 2019. Since then, she has continued to focus on improving her brain’s dysfunction and has slowly been making her way back into the music world. She has found comfort in exploring healing through songwriting. As her brain continues to improve, she hopes to share her songs to help others on through their own struggles.
