'For me, what has helped [so that] I didn't have to take medication anymore was traveling and touring and meeting people,' Jimmie Allen says during an appearance PEOPLE Now
"I've had a lot of people reach out. I had an artist reach out — he's a well-known country artist and he has bipolar disorder — and he said he's not comfortable enough to say it and thanked me for doing it," Allen says. "He asked me why and I said, 'Well, the one thing I don't want is for people to feel like they're on an island by themselves.
Upcoming stars including teen pop singer Cody Newman and fellow country musician Aaron Vance joined Allen on PEOPLE Now to discuss how he has impacted them with his newest work. "You don't see a lot of artists supporting artists," Vance said of Allen. "I respect you a whole lot bro, for doing what you're doing because it takes a lot to do that. Out of all the people I know since I've been in Nashville, in this generation, Jimmie you're the first person I've seen to do this and that's a blessing and I thank God for you."
Allen also speaks highly of Vance saying, "We used to work out of the same building and I just always loved him. I loved his music, love who he is as a person. I even told him. I was like, 'Bro, we need to do some work together.' So, me and Aaron got some things in the works. As soon as this thing is lifted, we can get back in the studio and get back in this stuff."
Newman shared her sentiments for Allen as well, "Jimmie has really been there for me since the beginning. I'm still really growing as an artist, I think developing a community is a very important thing as an artist because helping others grow, like Jimmie said, is as important as helping yourself grow."
