Cap Carter - wow. This conversation is one of the hardest hitting, raw and honest conversations we’ve had to date.
Cap is an up and coming Australian musician from Western Sydney with a story and a half to share with you all.
From growing up and having his mum leave when he was 10, to being introduced to drugs at 12 and getting caught up with gang life a few years later, Cap has put in a hell of a lot of work over the last 12-24 months recovering. Cap opens up about his own marriage breakdown due to the trauma and addiction but is fast to remind us that these experiences are not an excuse for where his life choices lead him, but definitely a valid reason.
This chat touches a lot on the horrors of drug addiction and childhood trauma and we are incredibly thankful to Cap for his honesty and openness. We say it a lot, that we’re so grateful for people being willing to open up after knowing us for all of 5 minutes prior to hitting record and this is proof in the pudding.
As always, if any of the topics covered touch on your personal experiences, there are services to assist you.
