DJ Vanic Opens Up About “Tough Year” Dealing with “Mental Health Issues”
Vanic gets candid on Instagram, admitting that “mental health” and “visa issues” separating him from his girlfriend made 2022 difficult.
Three years after the global shutdown, celebs and civilians alike can attest that the pandemic’s effects are all but forgotten. In a recent heartfelt post, DJ Vanic expressed excitement for 2023 while reflecting on the hardships he encountered in 2022. Undoubtedly, Vanic’s introspective statement on Instagram echoed a larger disorientation among those in the music industry brought on by COVID-19.
In acknowledging the difficulties of the past year, the Canadian DJ admitted that the pandemic was “a hit to the ego” and simultaneously “humbling.” Certainly, the gestalt shift produced by cancellations and stunted tour schedules left even the most proliferate of artists frantic. Furthermore, Vanic has been keeping his cards close to his chest as he prepares his unreleased tracks to go public.
Unsurprisingly, fans flocked en masse to the comment section in an outpouring of support for the DJ. One user described Vanic as “a huge inspiration and the kindest and most talented artist out there” and reassured him that “2023 will be good.” Ultimately, the resounding consensus among his followers indicated much excitement for his new music.
Recently, the DJ teased his latest creations at Fox Theater in Boulder and at at Temple Nightclub in San Francisco. Needless to say, his last two performances stoked the fires as fans wait patiently for the next music release. Certainly, Vanic wasn’t kidding about finding a silver lining in his struggles to “become the best version of” himself.
Similar to Vanic, several artists have utilized their platforms to advocate for mental health awareness in the industry. Last month, Griz openly admitted he felt “spread thin” amid a jam-packed tour and cancelled several afterparties to prioritize his mental and physical health. In November, Virtual Riot also cancelled a number of tour dates due to mental health struggles of being in the public eye.
As fans continue waiting for an album drop, Vanic blessed the music community with a 30-minute “Undisclosed Vol. 2” mix on YouTube. If this mix is any indicator of Vanic’s new year holds, then we are in for a treat indeed!

Having grown up just an earshot from Ultra Miami's venue Bayfront Park, it was next to impossible for me not to fall in love with electronic music. My love for music was evidently strong enough for me to write my college essay on festival culture and continue attending Ultra for 10+ years now. I have always had a knack for writing and the power of words, which I continued cultivating through a Philosophy degree in college. Now a law school graduate, I eventually hope to merge my passions by working in music law. I am an avid traveler and am certainly not afraid to hop on a plane for a music event. My next bucket list festivals to attend are Tomorrowland in Belgium and Sonus in Croatia. Though the list could go on forever, some of my favorite artists include Franky Wah, Mochakk, Kevin de Vries, and Eli Brown.
