Arizona Lindsey - Healing Trauma through Music


“The Process” takes listeners through the journey of someone who is struggling with the lasting imprints of complex trauma (also known as chronic trauma) and then through the journey of entering into the trauma recovery process. Now available on all music streaming platforms, “The Process” tackles topics ranging from suicide ideation, disordered eating, and domestic abuse to suicide prevention, self-acceptance, and the rebuilding of self-esteem and hope. The concept album leaves the listener with a wholesome, emotional, and cathartic experience.

Arizona released “The Process’s” bonus track “Worth the Fight”. Featuring legendary artist Darryl McDaniels of RunDMC, Ari writes a song dedicated to National Suicide Prevention Month.

In support of her recent album “The Process”, Arizona originally released her single “Anxiety” in February 2020. They followed up the release with a live performance and media tour including but not limited to: The Grindhouse Radio, (iHeartRadio), WUSB 90.1 FM and WHPC 90.3 FM (where “Anxiety” had been receiving regular airplay). Continuing her tour schedule prior to the pandemic – Lindsey made many appearances throughout New York (encompassing the Hudson Valley and Westchester County regions, Brooklyn, and Long Island) as well as Virginia (Richmond and Fredericksburg) and New Orleans, LA. Ari was nominated for two NY Readers’ Choice Awards in the 2020 Chronogram Magazine: “Readers’ Choice of Activist/Advocate and Local Artist” while out garnering new fans in the Mid-West. It’s no wonder that Arizona Lindsey has been captivating audience’s attention worldwide since the debut of her album “The Castle You Built Me” released in July 2018 to critical acclaim. She approaches her music with a sweet-sounding voice, passionate vocal performances, and powerful, heartfelt lyricism.

As a passionate mental health advocate and growing public figure, Lindsey also works to de-stigmatize mental health - promoting wellness and empowerment. She aims to reach others about these important messages through her lyrics as she writes about mental health as well as conducts open conversations with her fan base on social media. She speaks openly to her audience about her goals and experiences, stating, “I want to open conversation in communities about mental health, wellness, and how to build stronger support systems. No matter what it is you are going through, you’re never alone. It does get better, but it’s certainly a process. My work as an advocate and artist is to help people through that process; for the good parts and the really challenging ones.” Arizona is now an official affiliate with “Beauty After Bruises”, a non-profit affiliation geared at helping trauma survivors, and “Rethink Stigma” non-profit organization focused at bringing psychoeducation to the public through a series of platforms.  Visit Arizona Lindsey at https://www.arizonalindsey.com
