Ian McCartor writes songs inspired by the wisdom of those who have suffered loss, with the hopes of inspiring others to live life to the fullest in light of these lessons.

Ian has worked as a hospice nurse and co-facilitator for grief and bereavement therapy using songwriting as a way to compartmentalize loss, redirecting the perspective to something that can be seen as beautiful.

He also sits bedside with those who are in their final hours, offering to be an open vessel for them if they pass with unspoken words.
