Alumni Reflection: Angel Rios
January 7, 2025
We invited a recent alumni, Angel, to share his reaction to The Guardian’s article about the positive impact of arts and culture on health and well-being. As a musician, we were curious to hear his insight on how the arts have influenced his life and experiences.
Check out Angel’s reaction below, and feel free to comment and share yours!
“This article highlighted just about everything I was feeling when I let music into my life when I was in my darkest hour. Mitigating depression, alleviating pain, and increasing productivity are all benefits of actively listening to music that I experienced over time, which were prominently featured benefits discussed in this article. Now I am using music to create my own artistic legacy, one weird step at a time, and am leading a personal mission to help other people find their calling through the powerful transcending force that is music.”
