At SOBERNATIONMUSIC, we aim to deliver impactful Substance Use education through dynamic programs encouraging youth empowerment, personal growth, and authentic learning experiences. We understand the critical importance of equipping individuals with the tools to navigate life's challenges without resorting to Substances. Our engaging approach fosters an environment where participants can openly discuss their struggles, share their stories, and learn from one another in a supportive community. We strive to inspire positive change by fostering resilience and understanding in those who may feel lost, helping them discover healthier coping mechanisms. The story of TK Superstar(Benjamin Jones)—our founder—is a remarkable testament to resilience and the transformative power of self-discovery. Coming from a musical family, he was the youngest with a promising career ahead of him, blending the rich legacy of his heritage with his ambitions as an artist. However, the struggles of his upbringing pulled him into a world where the streets offered a false sense of security and belonging. Everything crashed as he navigated this precarious balance between his artistic dreams and street life. From humble beginnings to fleeting riches, TK's life reads like a work of fiction, filled with dramatic and devastating highs. His journey, marked by the abuse he suffered in every form imaginable, shaped his understanding of both pain and triumph.
Despite these adversities, TK found guidance through the words of wise mentors who helped him steer clear of total self-destruction. Faced with a pivotal choice in his 20s, he embraced fatherhood rather than continue down a treacherous path. Yet, this decision was fraught with challenges; addiction continued to loom large, leading to multiple rehabilitation attempts and two suicide attempts. During his final rehab stay, TK experienced a profound shift, discovering messages of hope and change that resonated deeply within him. This pivotal moment served as a turning point, helping him realize that although he had been a victim in his childhood, he now possessed the power to uplift others who felt powerless.
Through reflection on his tumultuous past, TK transformed his pain into purpose, using music as a vehicle for healing and storytelling. His experiences became the lyrics that once echoed only in his mind, enabling him to connect with audiences as he speaks across the Midwest. With renewed determination, TK has committed himself to educating and empowering the next generation, sharing his story as he would share the tracks he recorded. If you want to book TK Superstar to speak at your event, please contact us with your request. Together, we can ignite conversations that inspire change and foster healing.

Substance use education is a vital conversation that encompasses not just the risks and effects of drugs and alcohol. But also the profound ways in which individuals cope with life's challenges. At the heart of this program is the understanding that Substance Use can often be a misguided response to stress and adversity. We break down Substance Use into three essential categories: coping, maintenance, and outcomes. In the coping phase, we emphasize the importance of understanding coping mechanisms. Music serves as an engaging and accessible tool for self-soothing and expression. Through curated playlists and discussions about song lyrics, participants learn how music can provide comfort during difficult times, helping to articulate their feelings and experiences. By introducing coping early in life, individuals can recognize healthier outlets for their emotions, mitigating the impulse to turn to Substances for relief.
The second category, maintenance, dives deeper into the everyday realities of life and the stresses that accompany it, both positive and negative. At this stage, we facilitate open discussions where participants are encouraged to reflect on their personal experiences and how Substance Use disorders may amplify their daily stressors. Here, music plays a unique role in fostering community and shared understanding. Participants can create their "stress soundtracks," reflecting on songs encapsulating their struggles and triumphs. This process opens the floor for peer debate; it's a space where everyone can voice their thoughts and experiences, promoting a culture of listening and trust. When participants hear others share similar stories through the medium of music, they often feel validated, allowing for deeper conversations about how various factors in their lives contribute to their choices.
Finally, in the outcomes phase, we introduce the critical concept of "probability" and its relevance to decision-making regarding Substance Use. The founder of Sober Nation Music highlights a crucial insight: understanding the probabilities associated with drug and alcohol use can significantly alter one's trajectory. Reflecting on past teachings from the 1980s, many participants share that while they were aware of the dangers of Substance Use, no one "explicitly" explained the potential consequences and the likelihood of adverse outcomes in a way that matched my reality, because everyone internalizes things differently. Through discussions that integrate powerful music narratives—where songs' stories mirror the pitfalls of Substance Use and the life that comes with it—participants learn to calculate probability in a way that serves their healthiest benefit. Ultimately, this program seeks to empower individuals, allowing them to harness their respect for music and life experiences as tools for informed choices, leading to healthier lifestyles and a brighter future.
