Myrically Survived a 750-Pound Steel Beam Hitting His Head, Talks Music, Recovery & “Living Proof”

In a new episode of Skipping Class presented by The Progress Report, Lalaa Shepard sits down with independent artist Myrically to discuss his incredible journey of survival, recovery, and finding purpose through music. Myrically reflects on the August 2020 construction accident that completely changed his life when a crane malfunction caused a 750-pound steel beam to fall on the right side of his head. The accident resulted in a traumatic brain injury, and Myrically opens up about undergoing extensive therapy and having to relearn how to walk and talk. He also discusses the important role his mother played throughout his recovery, including introducing him to art therapy, which helped him discover a deeper passion for creativity before eventually taking music seriously. Originally born in Federal Way, Washington, Myrically also speaks about living throughout the West Coast before making Denver, Colorado his home, his experiences in Denver’s music scene, and the independent grind behind his career. He explains the meaning behind the name “Myrically,” which combines “miracle” and “lyrical,” and reflects on how much his perspective on life changed following his accident. During the conversation, Myrically discusses working closely with producer Rooftop York, remaining consistent as an independent artist, and collaborations with artists including Trev Rich, Ray Reed, Tana 10 Birdz, Scotty ATL, Dollface Henn, and others. He also speaks about upcoming music with Yung Ralph and Big Moochie Grape, his love for the recording process, and why music continues to serve as a form of therapy for him. Myrically also breaks down his new project Living Proof, the deeper meaning behind its title, his record “Honest Truth,” and why his story and music are ultimately about showing what is possible after tragedy. Living Proof is available now on all streaming platforms. Watch the full interview and stay connected with Myrically for new music and upcoming releases.
