After 7 years in the musical wilderness, battles with mental health and addiction, Brisbane singer-songwriter John Trager returns with the record that changed his life, his most ambitious to date, the triumphant "Sunrise After The Storm". The songwriter explains, "I've always used music as a creative outlet to express myself and my emotional chaos... but with this record... I approached the writing from the intention of manifesting the life I desperately craved". Starting with the epic rocker "Letting Go" written about coming out of a toxic relationship, through the grief of losing his father on "When I Was A Child", overcoming depression on "...to You..." and the final chapter of finding self love on "Fall For You"... the record is a journey. Open about his challenges with depression, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts, debt, grief and being in a domestically violent relationship, as a life coach Trager draws on these experience to help others who are facing their own challenges.
