I met Pete Barker at the record store right around the corner from my home where he works. He shared with me the music that he writes and we spoke about his relationship with this music. He mentioned his experience with mental illness and how that related to creativity. I thought a discussion about this could be very helpful to people and he agreed to be a guest on Eager To Know.

Pete’s experience with depression, anxiety, and OCD have had an impact on living his life and his creative journey. He shared that he found that music was a way to refocus all of the hard work his mind was actively doing. I was curious about his story and I am very grateful that he sat down with me to talk about it.
