Attitude is Everything is asking musicians who identify as deaf or disabled persons – or don’t identify but have a health condition or impairment that impacts their daily life – to share their experiences.

The survey is open to musicians, artists and DJs who produce original music.

Attitude Is Everything hopes to use the ‘Next Stage’ survey to overcome the knowledge gap surrounding disabled musicians, and to boost talent development and build a more accessible music industry.

Participates can opt to share their music with Attitude is Everything, join a new Artist Mailing List, and share their experiences of:

  • Rehearsing
  • Recording
  • Playing live
  • Seeking support and funding
  • Networking and engaging with the music industry
  • Talking about lived experiences as a musicians or artists

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. Participants can take a break, save their answers and come back later.

The findings of this survey will be shared at The Great Escape in May 2019.
