I promise you it will, though," he later adds. "When that's going to happen, I don't know. ![]() My fans and myself, we both deserve to do it when I have full access to my superpowers. But it's important for me to be in a good headspace and physical space and be healthy enough to do it. "Nobody wants to make another record or go on tour more than me," he insists. Dawson has still been writing his own music, too, and he's looking forward to sharing it with fans when he has "full access" to his musical abilities. "Eighty-five to 90 percent of what I've been doing the last six months has been helping others," he says. He is, of course, the writer behind many hit songs, including Blake Shelton's aforementioned megahit, and this time has allowed the writer to help other artists where he can. It’s something that I’ve realized is not common, but it definitely happens to people, but no one ever really talks about it."Īlthough his vocal condition hasn't allowed him to record his own new music, Dawson says he's been writing a great deal for other people.

He tried a wide range of treatments including physical therapy, speech therapy, vocal massage, sound baths and "holistic training." He has also worked on the mental side of things by trying talk therapy, PTSD therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), yoga and more. It's also possible that there is a disconnect in the way "the brain activates the muscles," he says. Dawson's condition is primarily affecting the middle to lower part of his vocal range - he doesn't feel any pain.Īs he isn't one to say "woe is me," the singer immediately dove into working to remedy the issue. He doesn't know of any clear cause for his vocal issues, but he thinks it may have started due to mental stress (he had also been dealing with a back issue from a past car accident and a recent COVID-19 diagnosis). He also saw a doctor in Boston and was given much of the same information. Dawson saw a doctor at Vanderbilt Medical Center, and to his surprise, there was nothing physically wrong with his vocal cords.
