Shadient Opens Up About Battle With Epilepsy

London-based electronic music producer, Shadient, has opened up to fans on Twitter about his recent battles with Epilepsy. 

Someone’s willingness to open up about mental and physical has been seen as tough. But, it also has served as relatable to many. So, when one rising star in the electronic dance scene had opened up about his personal struggles, fans and artists alike have showed their support. Experimental bass music producer, Shadient has recently taken to Twitter where he shared something personal with all his followers. He has shared a deeply personal struggle with epilepsy. Something he has been personally struggling with for nearly a year. 

Shadient, an artist based in London, has been making waves in the electronic music industry since the start of his career. He is renowned for creating a diverse range of tracks that span from relentless drops to dynamic and elegant melodies. His most popular tracks, such as ‘Blue in the Face’ and ‘Naw Naw’, truly put his name on the map. Over the years, he has received support for his epic sound from some of the most prominent acts in the industry, including Porter Robinson, Rezz, Madeon, and RL Grime. However, in his latest Twitter post, Shadient shared a personal struggle with us.

In a candid post, the artist revealed the challenges faced in managing his health, stating, “idk if anyone gives a shit but I’ve been fighting for over a year to sort out my epilepsy bullshit with the hospital (even more so since I literally snapped my leg in half from a seizure) and finally, I got an increased medication dose on Friday, and I’ve been seizure-free for 4 days.” 

Epilepsy is surely not something everyone may understand fully but it is a neurological disorder where someone experiences unpredictable seizures. This definitely poses unique challenges for those affected, including Shadient.

The artist’s recent post has received praise from both fans and fellow artists, as it marks a significant milestone. Celebrating small victories, such as going four days without a seizure, is a big achievement. It shows the artist’s determination to overcome obstacles and their pride in their work. Despite facing setbacks, the artist’s commitment to creating music is admirable and demonstrates their passion for their craft. As Shadient continues on their journey with epilepsy, fans eagerly await their next steps and offer support for their recovery.
