Music Saved Me is the podcast where inspiring music icons, emerging artists, and healing voices explore music as therapy — hosted by Lynn Hoffman. Every episode dives deep with musicians personally transformed by the power of sound, tracing each artist's journey — a band's journey through breakup and reinvention, an indie music story of hard-won discovery, or the moment music became a healing tool for someone at their lowest point. From the stories behind new music to the viral music success journeys that shaped careers, Music Saved Me with Lynn Hoffman examines how music can be a powerful healing device for the global mental health crisis, and how healing through music shows up in ways nobody expects. Lynn Hoffman brings warmth and curiosity to conversations that connect art to emotional healing, spotlighting musicians on call for causes bigger than themselves, nonprofits doing meaningful work, and the inspiring music icons who remind us why music matters. Music Saved Me is produced by Buzz Knight Media Productions.
