Eugenia Bertin talks about the music industry from her point, the view of a songwriter, performer and wheelchair user.

Inspirational words from Eugenia speaking to Creative Choices, an organisation who aim to develop the careers of individuals in the creative and cultural industries. Creative Choices were keen to hear Eugenia’s take on the music industry and here are the key aspects of her speech:

“I always wanted to be something that was unique, something that’s unique in the market”.

“I wanted to develop my own thing that was unique, because even though the music industry is hard, to make it in the music industry I have to put my voice across about disabled artists.”

“Disabled people face a lot of barriers. A lot of critics don’t believe in disabled artists: a lot of images about sex selling, about looking a certain way… And I just thought: ‘You’re so negative!’.

“I just wanted to design a project for them, get them the right bookings, the right management team, the right songwriters to work with and mentors to support them and guide them through the process to get on to that stage. I wanted to teach the music world what they need. I wanted disabled artist to see that I’m there, that I’m a voice for them and that they should not be scared because I’m there to fill in the gap that other managers couldn’t.”
