Alex Young aka Motormouf on suicide prevention, bereavement and grief

Content warning: this episode contains discussions around suicide and bereavement.


In our first episode of series two, we’re joined by Nottingham-based rapper, beatboxer and performer Alex Young, also known as Motormouf.


Alex shares his personal journey of losing friends to suicide, opening up about the impact of grief, the complexities of bereavement by suicide, and the importance of mental health support.


Through honest conversation, Alex reflects on how these experiences have shaped his life and music, and how creative expression has helped him navigate pain and healing.


We talk about the stigma surrounding suicide, the misconceptions that often prevent people from seeking help, and the power of speaking out.


Whether you’ve been affected by suicide or are supporting someone who has, we hope this conversation offers comfort, connection, and most importantly - hope.
