A decade ago, Mike Posner released the hit song “I Took a Pill in Ibiza,” earning him a Grammy nomination, and today, his life may look the same on the outside, but he shared that on the inside, he's a person other.
Posner spoke to Fox News Digital and shared how his faith has played a “crucial role” in his life.
“When I just let go and trust that there's something wiser, stronger, smarter than me that's really running the show. It loves me. It's got my back,” Posner said in an on-camera interview.

He added, “I feel like all the demons I've faced, my solipsism, my self-centeredness, my self-pity, my depressive tendencies, are still there. They all show up every morning. But I don't let them hold me anymore steering wheel of my life”.

The “Cooler Than Me” singer shared that he celebrates the ups and downs in life by finding more meaning in life.
Posner hiked nearly 3,000 miles across America and climbed Mount Everest.
“My life experience is much more joyful, much freer and much more fun,” he said.

“When you go and have deeper life experiences like I've been blessed to have, it changes the perspective from which you write, or create art from within,” he said.
Posner cited producer and songwriter Quincy Jones, the deeper the man, the deeper the musician, adding that there are some things you can't learn in the studio.

“If I'm true to my work, which is to be real, then the music is a reflection of me. Actuality is the light of life or God shining through the artists, refracting through the artist to the listener.
“You're just a vessel and it filters through you, but the filter changes over time.”
Posner said the holiday season can be an emotional time as it highlights people who are not present.

Posner joked about when his mother sometimes brings back the “13-year-old part” of him, adding that “people play different roles in our lives.”
“God gives us our family for a reason… They have all the lessons for you. That's where you have to look,” he said.

“Going into the holidays, the advice I would just say is enjoy this holiday like it's your last. It might be. We hope not. But enjoy your family, your loved ones,” Posner added.
“Hug, kiss. Cry. Savor the food and savor it like it was the last.”
