We’re getting candid in our interview with Middle Part.

We talk to Middle Part about the choice to open up about his depression in songwriting, knowing that someone out there is going through the same thing and how he utilized the image of a glass box as a metaphor for the extreme pressures and expectations of the music industry.

Middle Part is the moniker of New York alternative rock artist Andy Selkōw. His debut album Disruptor explores themes such as depression, self-acceptance, and the challenges of aging.
