Guest and HostGuest: Precious Perez, President at RAMPD | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/precious-perez-a0548915b/ | Website: https://preciousperezmusica.com/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesThe intersection of music, technology, and accessibility is shaping how artists create, perform, and share their work. In this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin speaks with singer, songwriter, and educator Precious Perez, a Berklee College of Music graduate with degrees in music education and vocal performance. As a blind Latina artist and disability advocate, Perez shares her journey in music, the role of technology in her creative process, and how she works to increase opportunities for musicians with disabilities.A Life Shaped by MusicPerez's passion for music started early, surrounded by the diverse sounds of her Puerto Rican household. From salsa and reggaeton to R&B and pop, her exposure to various genres helped shape her identity as an artist. She recalls her first songwriting experience in fourth grade, when she transformed a poem into a song with the help of a music teacher. That moment solidified her desire to pursue music professionally, leading her to Berklee, where she refined her skills in both performance and education.As a blind musician, Perez explains how she interacts with music differently from sighted artists. She describes her early experiences learning Braille music and how tactile memory plays a role in understanding composition. While she primarily relies on her ear, her knowledge of Braille notation helps her analyze rhythm and structure in a unique way.Technology as a Tool for InclusionFor Perez, technology has been both a gateway and a challenge. She demonstrates how she uses a BrailleSense note taker, a device that allows her to type lyrics and read them in Braille while composing. She also shares how screen reading software enables her to navigate recording software like Logic Pro and Pro Tools, ensuring she can produce and edit her music independently.Beyond the studio, accessibility in live performance is another key consideration. Whether using in-ear monitors or giving cues to her bandmates through verbal or physical signals, Perez emphasizes that clear communication and collaboration make performances seamless.Advocating for Disability Representation in MusicPerez is also the president of RAMPD (Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities), an organization founded by recording artist Lachi and NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner Gaelynn Lea. RAMPD is dedicated to amplifying disability culture, promoting accessibility, and ensuring that disabled artists have equitable opportunities in the music industry. The organization consults with major industry events like the Grammys, NAMM, and Folk Alliance to improve accessibility and representation.She stresses that disability is an often-overlooked part of diversity and that anyone, at any time, could join this community due to illness, injury, or aging. Through RAMPD, Perez and her colleagues are breaking down barriers and proving that disabled musicians are just as competitive and professional as their peers.A New Era of MusicPerez is embracing a new era in her music, blending her Latin roots with her pop and R&B influences. She performs her latest song, Rosé, a Spanish-language track about embracing the present moment with a loved one despite life's difficulties. With plans to record a new project with We Could Be Music in Costa Rica, she is leaning into the Latin music space in a way she has always envisioned.Her story is one of resilience, innovation, and passion. From navigating music education as a blind student to advocating for industry-wide accessibility, Perez is proving that talent and determination—not sight—define an artist's success.Listen to the full episode to hear Precious Perez's insights on technology, performance, and advocacy in music.SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring this show or placing an ad in the podcast?Sponsorship

The Moody Blues rose to prominence in the late 1960s, with a series of psychedelic hit singles, like “Tuesday Afternoon”and “Nights in White Satin”.

Also, hear a conversation with the singer-songwriter, pianist, and disability activist Lachi. She'll be performing in Indiana on March 1. Lachi was born legally blind and her personal struggles with accessibility in the music industry inspired her to create RAMPD, Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities. RAMPD is an advocacy group dedicated to amplifying disability culture and promoting disability inclusion in the music industry. Lachi's work has been recognized the New York Times, Billboard, and USA Today, who named her one of 2024's women of the year.

 Do you have big goals for your music production business but you're not sure where to start? Marketing your skills as music producer so you can get consistent and high-paying projects with serious artists can be overwhelming, confusing, and just downright HARD. Because of this, most producers end up producing as a side hustle their whole life waiting for that big break. But the truth is, the music industry does not work like that anymore. And as a result, producers have become bombarded with so much conflicting information online that they do not know what to focus on or even what is true. So, it is hard to know where to start, which means most aspiring producers never get the chance to do music full-time let alone make the income that they truly deserve.  But lucky for you, founder and CEO of the Music Producers Alliance Adam Reifsteck has cracked the code on how to turn a home studio into a highly profitable business. And it took him having to go outside of the music industry for advice from successful business owners to really understand not only what the principles of business are, but principles of marketing so that he could sell his production services and generate a decent income from it. Pay close attention because what we share in this episode is fundamental to crafting a memorable brand identity, fine-tuning your offer, and truly succeeding as a Modern Producer! Modern Producer Secrets Podcast is brought to you by Music Producers Alliance®.

The transcript for this episode is available here. About Molly Joyce Composer and performer Molly Joyce has been deemed one of the "most versatile, prolific and intriguing composers working under the vast new-music dome" by The Washington Post. Her music has additionally been described as "serene power" (New York Times), written to "superb effect" (The Wire), and "unwavering" and "enveloping" (Vulture). Her work is concerned with disability as a creative source. She has an impaired left hand from a previous car accident. The primary vehicle in her pursuit is her electric vintage toy organ, an instrument she bought on eBay that suits her body and engages her disability on a compositional and performative level. Her debut full-length album, Breaking and Entering, featuring toy organ, voice, and electronic sampling of both sources was released in June 2020 on New Amsterdam Records, and has been praised by New Sounds as "a powerful response to something (namely, physical disability of any kind) that is still too often stigmatized, but that Joyce has used as a creative prompt." Molly is a graduate of The Juilliard School (graduating with scholastic distinction), Royal Conservatory in The Hague (recipient of the Frank Huntington Beebe Fund Grant), and Yale School of Music. She holds an Advanced Certificate in Disability Studies from CUNY School of Professional Studies and is an alumnus of the National YoungArts Foundation. She has studied with Samuel Adler, Martin Bresnick, Guus Janssen, David Lang, Missy Mazzoli, Martijn Padding, Christopher Theofanidis, and has served on the composition faculty of New York University, Wagner College, and Berklee Online, teaching subjects including Disability and the Arts, Music Technology, Music Theory, and Orchestration. She is currently a Dean's Doctoral Fellow at the University of Virginia, focusing on Composition and Computer Technologies.

Making it as a musician can be a tough gig, but if you have a disability, things can get even more complicated. Inaccessible venues, negative attitudes and lack of representation in the industry are common challenges people have to contend with. Despite this, disabled musicians are making their voices heard. Award winning Nigerian-American Electronic Dance star Lachi has seven albums and millions of streams to her name. As a visually impaired musician, Lachi campaigns for the inclusion of disabled artists. As well as consulting on disability inclusion, including at the White House, this year she's launched RAMPD, Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities. Popular playback singer and producer Ritika Sahni formed Pehli Baarish, an inclusive band of disabled and non-disabled musicians in 2014. They perform in venues including hospitals, orphanages and drug rehabilitation centres, in order to change the perception of disability in Indian society. Ritika talks to Tina Daheley, along with one of its members, blind keyboard player Sarfaraz Qureshi. Babsy Mlangeni is a celebrated South African musician, who lost his sight shortly after he was born. He started one of the first black-owned record label in South Africa and he now runs a foundation that inspires blind children to build up resilience and pursue their dreams. Babsy spoke to reporter Mpho Lakaje about his life and work. British singer songwriter Ruth Lyon cut her teeth fronting her rock band Holy Moly & The Crackers.

Jason Euler is the Founder of Kinekt (formerly The Artist Path), a mentoring platform for creative professionals to connect with industry professionals. He is also the Experience Creator for Relentless Beats and Manager of Bella Renee, R3ll, Ekonovah and Tydi. Jason's passion for music started when he was 23 years old while attending his first festival, Mad Decent Block Party. Although he lost all of his friends and paid $85 for an uber home, he knew he found his calling. Jason rented a party bus for the next festival so that he can have a safe ride home and ended up making $2,000 in which he donated to a Children's Hospital. Octiv Entertainment was founded as a transportation service for festivals and quickly evolved to talent buying and producing house/bass shows in Phoenix. Jason produced his first major event in partnership with a local hotspot which got cancelled two days prior to the show. That did not stop him from doing everything he can to make it happen. Seventy events over 2 years later, Octiv was acquired by Relentless Beats, a large concert and festival producer in the Southwest. Before paving a path in music, Jason was a professional baseball player for the Cardinals. Follow along as he shares how baseball helped his career in music and other things he learned along the way. Jason discusses the importance of mentors in music, his journey building a business and artist management advice.
