Eva James: Casting Spells Through Intimate Dark Pop – A Journey of Resilience and Revelation

Today's interview is with Eva James, a rising dark pop artist, channels haunting beauty and raw vulnerability in her music, reminiscent of Stevie Nicks and Bonnie Raitt. Her introspective lyrics explore mental health and toxic relationships, transforming pain into universal truths. Living with autoimmune conditions like Endometriosis, MCAS, and POTS, Eva faced a health crisis during COVID-19 but found strength through biologic injections and IVIG infusions. For her, music is medicine. In 2023, she won the Gloucester 400th Anniversary Singer-Songwriter Challenge and began recording her debut album, Earth to Eva, with Paula Cole, set for 2025 release. Her story is one of resilience, blending health and art to inspire.

Stronger than Autoimmune
As an autoimmune warrior myself, I understand living with autoimmunity isn't easy. You are not alone, this podcast is to give hope to living with a chronic illness. I will interview individuals living with autoimmune disease along with experts, and businesses to help provide knowledge, and hope. As a health coach, I understand there is no cure for autoimmune disease but creating small changes like diet, stress management, movement and more can influence on how we feel. Join me to being Stronger than Autoimmune!
