Songwriting saved Fimone's life, but before music became the outlet for her that it is today, she struggled with addiction, trauma, and the overwhelming journey of self-acceptance. In this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Fimone opens up about her path from growing up in rural Minnesota to navigating the complexities of identity, addiction, and ultimately, healing. She shares how unhealthy relationships, a near-death experience, family, and the pressures of being an independent artist shaped her, and how music became her way of processing emotions she didn't know how to express. We dive into the highs and lows of her career, the reality of sobriety, and the powerful lessons she's learned along the way. Fimone's story is one of resilience, transformation, and the courage to embrace authenticity. If you've ever struggled with self-acceptance, addiction, or finding your voice, this episode is for you. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share your thoughts in the comments! __________________ About Fimone: Born from a lightning bolt in rural Minnesota, Fimone began crafting original music at 16, guided by their first Fender. Overcoming small-town challenges and struggles with addiction, she forged a unique sound in Nashville, blending country, blues, and rock. With 10+ years as an independent artist, she's toured the U.S. and Europe, collaborated with Grammy winners, and earned acclaim with their self-directed music video “Fire,” which won the Audience Award at Indie Memphis Film Festival. The lead singles from Fascination – "Will" and "The Guide" – received support from country music industry leaders CMT, ACM, and CMA. The music video for "Will" rotated on CMT Music, and the visualizer for "The Guide" premiered with All Country Music. The project was further covered by Rainbow Rodeo. AntiMusic and News Is Out, topped off with an interview with WKRN Channel 2's Local on 2. Fimone's powerful live performances and evocative songwriting have gained her spots on Lightning 100, WWLTV, WWOZ New Orleans, PBS On Stage Twin Cities, The Daily Yonder, and Connect LGBTQ magazine. An advocate for social justice, she draws comparisons to Brandi Carlile and Alabama Shakes. With skills as a producer, songwriter, and director, Fimone is a true renaissance artist in today's vibrant creative scene. __________________ Follow/Watch/Listen/Subscribe: ⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rootedrecoverystories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@patrickcusterproject⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rootedrecoverystories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rootedrecoverystories⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.rootedrecoverystories.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ __________________ Cast: Patrick Custer - Host Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@patrick_custer ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@patrickcusterproject⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Fimone - Guest Insta: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@therealfimone Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@therealfimone YouTube: ⁠⁠@therealfimone __________________ Get Help (adiction, mental health/trauma): Promises Behavioral Health Call: (888) 648-4098 Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.promises.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@promises_bh⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ __________________ Production: Produced and Edited by "The Cast Collective" (Nashville, TN) Email: info@thecastcollective.com Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TheCastCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

There are interviews and guest appearances from Martin Gore of Depeche Mode, Jason Schwartzmann, Regina Spektor, William Basinski, Tunde Adebimpe, Cornelius, and Benicio Del Toro.

Joann Self Selvidge is a filmmaker, story teller and writer extraordinaire. Having founded True Story Pictures in 2004 - and again in 2010 - first as a nonprofit, and later as a social venture company. She has a passion for stories and storytelling that is grounded in her roots as a Southerner. Her life story films and documentaries, including The WLOK Story (2002), The Arts Interviews (2005-2008), Leveling the Playing Field (2008), Voices of Jericho (2007, 2010), The Music Interviews (2009), and The Art Academy (2012), share stories of music and art, race relations and leadership, education, inspiration, and social justice.

Since 2001, she has helped her clients win $8.95 million for projects ranging from arts, education, and technology; to health and human services, including housing and homelessness, mental health, and substance abuse; to economic and community development; to transportation and infrastructure.
