Good morning everyone. um thank you Dr Biden for that lovely introduction. That's very sweet of you.

It is absolutely an honor to be here at the Steve Jobs theater to talk with you all about mental health today.

um I would like to thank the leaders  for um this opportunity to share my journey as an

artist. yeah so I discovered my passion for music  and started building my career at a very young age  

um through everything um I've been very fortunate  enough to be where I am today. um although in all  

honesty my journey hasn't always been the easiest  for me. um there have been valleys and trenches um  

and I have definitely faced some difficult trials  along the way. um these trials later became lessons  

for me to learn that in order for me to create  and share positivity through my music, my mental  

health needs to be taken care of as a matter of  priority and prioritizing my mental health has  

helped me incredibly to complete my recent world tour and meet uh my fans all over the world. um  

I have discovered however that mental health  is not the easiest of subjects. uh as for me  

it required much patience and practice but most  importantly lots and lots of attention. Just as  

we train ourselves for better health and fitness. uh mental health can only be maintained uh with  

equally if not more attention uh as our physical  well-being. I hope we can always remind ourselves  

no matter what the world may otherwise tell us, that our selfworth is not determined by where we  

are now, but is to be determined by what keeps us  close to the ground. Which is a message that a very  

special song of mine holds and is what I try to  remind myself everyday. uh it is my sincere hope  

that my music can be a source of inspiration  and comfort to my listeners. I will continue  

to do my best to contribute to the collective  well-being of our global community.

Thank you for listening.
