'A true inspiration': Blind Alberta musician's career hitting the right note
Twenty-year-old Justin Wack recently completed a music program in Vancouver, secured a manager, and is soon heading to Los Angeles.“As someone who is totally blind, the technology that is there is finally starting to put us on an equal playing field with sighted peers,” said Wack, who composes all of his music on his laptop.
“I was kind of like a baby Canadian Simon Cowell because in my music class, all the three-year-olds were singing in the wrong key and three-year-old me did not like it that much.”“He's a true inspiration to other people because his disability is so visible that it reminds us the internal we have to fight can be overcome we just have to approach it with a similar attitude,” said Kristina Lao with Nimbus School of Recording & Media.
