Jackie Heyen is a Singer/Songwriter with many musical passions. She is a composer of Electo-Acoustic music, folk music and a multi-media artist. But her passion is helping people find their voice. She speaks and sings about her personal struggle with an Eating Disorder, Depression and Self-Injury. Music is how she found her voice after a lifetime of silence. Jackie believes that "if you find your passion you will find your voice" and that "anyone and everyone deserves a life without an Eating Disorder or Self-Injury." Her songs on her debut album Journey to Worthy are pro-recovery songs. Jackie sings with just a guitar because she says "I wore a mask for so long that I was afraid too much background music would be yet another mask. The songs are about the words. They just happen to be to music."
