The Crow helped me believe I could do anything, even with Cerebral Palsy, and it still does…

In this feature, I will not be addressing the tragic death of Brandon Lee on the set (as there is already enough about that all over the internet), but I will say that I respect and value Brandon’s performance as one of the greatest superhero portrayals of all time.

Also, James O’Barr’s comics are amazing. For this article, I will be focusing on the 1994 film adaption and its impact on me as a person, but if you have time, go back, and check out the stunning book.

Soundsphere editor and WARO founder, Dom Smith recently appeared on the Strong Tea Podcast to talk about growing up with Cerebral Palsy, starting Soundsphere (and WARO) and the difficulties that came with that. In addition, Dom discusses the journey toward becoming a qualified counsellor, and dealing with his own mental health challenges.

On the appearance, Dom comments:

“I have never done an interview where I have been so open and honest about the challenges I have faced, and so I am incredibly proud that this is out in the world.

Thank you to Strong Tea for giving me the space to reflect, all while having a good brew!”

I've launched a new podcast, which is just me talking to my talented friends, without the pressures of management or PR companies who need to promote something when I do Soundsphere-related stuff.

In this first episode I got to catch up with my wonderful artist friend Mary Bottom (who I spent some time with at Keene State College) and talk about her career, creative inspirations and more.

Soundsphere's Dom Smith was a guest on Brooke Millhouse's Disabled & Proud podcast, discussing what it's like being a professional in the media and music industry with Cerebral Palsy. 
​
This week on Disabled and Proud, Brooke Millhouse is joined by Dom Smith, the “happiest man in Britain,” whose philosophy is "Don't be a dick & do cool shit". He chats about his own experiences with cerebral palsy, how this influences his work, and how he went about creating a platform for other young music journalists. He discusses encounters with curious strangers, and all of the weird and wonderful questions that he gets regarding his disability. Dom also shares insights on his own podcast "Gimme a Hull Yeah."

All my projects (Wobbling About and Rocking Out, Soundsphere and Gimme A Hull Yeah!) are discussed in this chat with Jade Nichelle, about self-care in the music industry for Visionary Music Festival 2022.
