Presentation Abstract
In the music industry, mental health is a topic in the forefront, but other disabilities are rarely addressed. This is the case across the board; pop, classical or even jazz musicians. My goal is to spread awareness and talk about this more and that it is okay to be a musician and have a disability. Because the work culture of major label style artistry is so fast paced, such long hours, and it can be demanding physically, mentally, emotionally and so on… if a disability … not even a disability, will push you out of the group. I really just want to raise awareness and teach people about the matter.
