Disability - Is The Future of Music Accessible?

What is it like being a disabled musician? What needs to change in the music industry for disabled artists and audience? These are the questions we will unpack in this panel.

COVID-19 forced us all to isolate, stay inside and resort to being in front of screens more than ever, it also presented us with a unique opportunity to use this technology to improve access and inclusion in the music industry for people with disability worldwide.

This panel will showcase Disabled and Deaf musicians as well as Access consultants. These panelists will discuss the barriers that musicians with disability face in the music industry. The ways venues, labels and festivals can improve accessibility and representation for Disabled artists and audiences, and the ways COVID taught us how to make our content more accessible for everyone.
