After reaching “rock bottom” during the covid-19 pandemic, singer Erica Cody has learned a lot about the importance of having support when going through tough times.

“Being in the music industry and the entertainment industry, it’s full of ebbs and flows and highs and lows and I definitely lean on my family and my friends,” she says. “I’m super lucky and super blessed to have that support system at home but I know that not everybody does have that.”
