Stages of a Breakdown is the latest album by Semler, a queer singer-songwriter and content producer (Grace Baldridge). The EP's five songs tell the story of the emotions that followed the end of a significant relationship. Semler has ruffled people's feathers in the past with their piercingly sincere and emotional songs. Independently produced and over a million plays in its first few months, their EP Preacher's Kid broke down barriers as it shot to the top of the iTunes Christian music charts, making Semler the first openly LGBT artist to do so. With their EP Late Bloomer, Semler accomplished the feat once more, reaching the top spot. In its first week, it received more than 250k Spotify streams, with double that much on Apple.
Preacher's Kid and Late Bloomer, Semler's bookend albums, both discovered comedy, hurt and healing at the nexus of queerness and faith. These albums also sparked a grassroots movement in favor of the artist, who then started scheduling performances around the US, both as the headlining act and as a co-headliner with Katie Pruitt and Relient K. Through humor, compassion and genuine hurt, Semler takes a leap of faith in challenging elements of Christian culture and Christian reactions to the LGBTQIA+ community. Semler has attracted the attention of hundreds of thousands of listeners who are anxiously anticipating their next release thanks to their steady development and honest songs and material that have hit a nerve and brought a community together..
