Dom the Composer – “If I Believe”
Seven Six Records artist Dom the Composer has released a new single, “If I Believe”, for Mental Health Awareness Month. He writes: “If I Believe is a song about dealing with your worst enemy: your mind. This is a video of my community opening up, being vulnerable and taking a stand. They were kind enough to take time out of their day, film these clips, and make this video possible. We want people who are watching this to know that they are not alone. Whatever you are going through will get better in time. You are strong, you are loved and you are enough!”
