Finding Purpose: From Soldier to Musician with Scotty Hasting - Country Music Artist

Army veteran and country artist Scotty Hasting shares his inspiring journey from surviving severe injuries in Afghanistan to finding healing through music. After discovering adaptive sports like archery to cope with PTSD, Scotty turned to music during the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching himself guitar despite nerve damage in his hand. His heartfelt songs, including “How Do You Choose,” about survivor’s guilt, have touched audiences worldwide, offering solace to veterans and civilians alike. With performances at the Grand Ole Opry and collaborations with major artists like Dolly Parton, Scotty discusses resilience, purpose, and using his music to help others overcome mental health challenges.
