Creating with People Affected by Mental Illness Diagnosis, Poverty
& Trapped in the Workforce.
Hi there, my name is Kellen De Vos and I live my wife Phethr in St Thomas, Ontario Canada where we operate Out There Creative Healing, Psych Dreams Records & Kellen De Vos Ent, media production that sets out to prove that creative resources ARE mental health resources.
I am an activist for people with mental illness labels in Ontario Canada, particularly schizophrenic/schizoid matters. Currently, most of my music pertains directly to the strife of my #SKITZAS in Ontario and feature many local artists/people in poverty with our music acting as a refuge for the world to hear.
I have worked extensively with The Canadian Government's Trillium Foundation moving over $300K through Southwestern Ontario sector to implement creative resources on the front lines of mental health recovery through creative action. We have also worked and collaborated with the growing homeless population of St Thomas and St. Joseph's Psychiatric Forensic Unit of St Thomas, Ontario.
We are extreme/controversial/hard hitting hip hop, raw humanitarian guerrilla cinematic ventures which I direct, and creative rights implementation in government. Above all - we are committed to fostering forgiveness ultimately - achievable through pure, honest creativity.
May God be with you always,
