I go by the name of E-Los, In the summer of 2018 at the age of 20, I was diagnosed with OCD, At the time I couldn’t understand what OCD was; Like many others, I thought that it was purely a cleaning disorder, but I wasn’t clean or neat, I was a 20-year-old man with a fear of being looked at as sick and crazy. So I kept it to myself, suffered in silence until I mustered up enough courage to seek help and get therapy.

I was at the beginning of my senior year of college and felt more alone than ever; feeling that no one would understand me, no one could accept me for who I was because at the time I couldn’t even accept myself.

Therapy and music gave me the strength I needed to continue, Through music, I found hope! Through making music I found something that gave me life, I found an outlet that doesn’t judge me for who I am but accepts for who I am and who I try to be.

Through this journey found a way to love myself. I hope my struggle and my voice can give you the strength or hope you may need to see your light and fight through your journey. - E-Los
