We sat down with DPR IAN to discuss how he distills mental health conversations into his new EP, 'Dear Insanity.'
is a 7-track EP that explains a persona named Mr. Insanity, which is the other side of the singer/songwriter during his manic highs. His previous releases——found him exploring MITO, a character he named after his experiences with mental health struggles. MITO is also part of the dreamlike universe he created called “The Other Side.” In his teenage years, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and has described in the past that MITO is this anti-hero that has every mental illness in the world.
The simple joys in life define DPR IAN, “That’s why I love traveling. Traveling allows me to be free-spirited. I like going to places that really feel that if I lose myself here, there’s no turning back.” If he’s put in a familiar setting or a routine, it can become a hurdle to his creativity. “Routine is sometimes the most dangerous thing to an artist. If you’re constantly pushed trying to create something new but you’re following the same thing every day, there’s nothing new going up .
MITO is a fallen angel and the angel is being banished in reverse. This is why his album and EP artwork releases are in the order of black, red and white; black is darkness, red is fear/love and white is going back into the light. On the other hand, DPR IAN also learned to not be personal with a lot of things. “The cross has always been a symbol for me to fight against something that’s dark that always comes to me.
