Spotlight: Eddie Witz and The Most High
Your debut EP, ‘I Am What I Am,’ is set to release on 5th July. Can you share what this milestone means to you personally and professionally?
Releasing my debut EP, “I Am What I Am,” on 5th July is a huge milestone for me. Personally, it represents years of hard work, growth, and passion for music. Professionally, it’s a significant step in establishing my career and sharing my voice and stories with the world. This release is a dream come true, and I’m excited to see where it takes me.
The album explores themes of resilience, forgiveness and healing. What inspired you to focus on these themes, and how do they reflect your personal journey?
The themes of resilience, forgiveness, and healing in “I Am What I Am” were inspired by my own personal struggles and triumphs. Battling Shingles and Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which partially paralyzed my face, was a challenging experience that brought fear, pain, anxiety, and insomnia. Through this journey, I learned to confront these challenges and ultimately found a place of forgiveness, acceptance, and gratitude. These songs reflect my path to healing and my hope to inspire others facing their own battles.
Your lead single, ‘In Too Deep,’ delves into trauma, loss, and sorrow. Can you talk about the creative process behind this song and what you hope listeners take away from it?
“In Too Deep” was a deeply personal song to write. Co-writing it allowed me to channel my experiences with trauma, loss, and sorrow into something meaningful. The creative process was both cathartic and enlightening, helping me focus on the light at the end of the tunnel. I hope listeners take away a sense of hope and resilience from the song, reminding them to never give up faith and trust in the greater good and the Universe’s ultimate plan.
You’ve drawn inspiration from artists like Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, John Butler, and Jimmy Buffett. How have these influences shaped your sound and approach to music?
Their ability to blend storytelling with soulful melodies has inspired me to create music that’s both meaningful and relatable. They’ve taught me the importance of authenticity, staying true to my roots, and conveying emotions honestly. Their influence can be heard in my acoustic style, lyrical depth, and the overall vibe of my EP.
Music is often described as a healing force. How has creating this album contributed to your own healing process?
Creating this album has been a transformative and healing experience for me. Writing and recording music has allowed me to turn negatives into positives and bring light to the darkness. By channeling my trials and tribulations into my art, I’ve found it easier and more enjoyable to reach a place of authentic forgiveness, acceptance, and gratitude. This journey has taught me to live in the present moment and treat each day as if it could be my last—an invaluable lesson that has helped me accomplish my dreams.
