Today on It’s Giving, Ingela sits down with musician, advocate, and nonprofit leader Logan Lynn. From launching the Pass the Mic Foundation alongside Portugal. The Man to activating tours with acts like Boygenius and NoFX, Logan brings decades of hands-on experience at the intersection of music, community empowerment, and mental health advocacy.
Logan breaks down his philosophy of "nothing about us without us", highlighting how artists can leverage their platforms to support their listeners and introducing PortuGAY, his new imprint designed to uplift and sustain LGBTQ+ voices in the music industry.
Plus, he opens up about his 12th studio album and its accompanying documentary, The Pain and the Power, exploring his journey through early trauma, addiction, long-term recovery, and using honest storytelling as a vehicle for personal and family healing.
“My music has always been the container for me to say what's really happening in my life... I hope what people get out of it is that they're not alone. If I can transform myself from a homeless, traumatized young drug addict into who I am today, anyone can.”
