“There are many doors that open in the music industry and many doors that close, that’s just part of the journey! This will never stop me from pushing my way through to make my dream a reality”
Codie has a message to share with the world — having suffered with depression, anxiety, homelessness and mental health issues. Codie aims to relate to others that have had similar health & life experiences. He states, “its okay not to be okay and you are never alone”.
In 2017 Codie joined a band and appeared in the famous Tv show “The Xfactor”,the band made it to the Six Chair Challenge. After the show the band went their separate ways to work on individual projects.
The show encouraged Codie to want to pursue his dream further than having a taste of what it’s like to perform to an audience of 10,000 people at The Wembely Arena In London UK.
Codie quote,“The show was by far one of the greatest experiences of my life”.
