Toronto indie rocker Brodie Christ – whose surname rhymes with wrist – finds himself in a nuanced position as a musician and artist: reckoning with the past, embracing complexity, and trying to be a better person, regardless of the state of the world.
The writing of Brodie’s latest songs arrived in light of a series of huge life changes for Brodie Christ: his father passed away, and his daughter was born. Christ developed some persistent health issues, which led to significant lifestyle changes, including giving up some vices, adding meditation and contrast therapy, and committing to an exercise regimen and daily Qigong. A prolific songwriter, Christ was capturing heartfelt song snippets all the while, and he noticed his approach was ripening with age:
“I used to think of the songs as an outlet, a means to share emotions I couldn’t express in my everyday life. But now, I need to really feel and communicate these everyday feelings as they come up, no matter how difficult. The songs can tackle bigger things.”
