Global music artist Tope Dada releases groundbreaking book on music and mental health

With over 15 years of experience in music ministry and more than 30 recorded tracks, Tope Dada’s latest work blends personal experiences with research-backed insights. From navigating rejection and depression in his early years in Nigeria to becoming an internationally recognized gospel voice, Dada shares how music helped restore his identity—and how it can do the same for others.

“This book is for anyone who’s ever felt broken, unseen, or overwhelmed,” Dada says. “I want readers to understand that music is not just entertainment—it’s medicine.”

The book, now available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats, delves into the therapeutic role of music in dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, and spiritual disconnection. It also addresses how melodies and lyrics can shape our thoughts, mood, and emotional stability.

Dada, who holds a Master’s degree in Peace, Conflict, and Development from the University of Bradford, is also the founder of Men’s Porch and co-founder of the Tetod Foundation, initiatives dedicated to promoting emotional health, leadership, and community development.

Sound Mind has already begun to generate buzz among faith-based readers, mental health professionals, and creatives looking for meaningful ways to engage with emotional wellness.
