Join me as I chat with Amy Sinha, a British Asian jazz vocalist, songwriter, presenter and now voice over artist from Wales, in the UK. Her story is quite the unique one, but through the constant struggle and heaviness, every challenge has created new ways to help educate & inspire at least one person to other possibilities of ‘normal’ in this world. She developed many rare conditions and disabilities from 1 year old. The first being cataracts leaving her almost blind, the 2nd being a rare nerve condition called ‘sensory neuropathy type 2, meaning I can’t feel hot, cold, or pain anywhere on my skin. There were only 5 like her in the UK. It also led to her almost being left in a wheelchair and stopped growing at the age of 11. It helps to keep in mind that this was during the 80s where social media and fb groups were not available to reach out to. She has been singing since childhood, but all these disabilities affected her confidence as you can imagine. But despite the doctors not knowing how long she'd live for, and after nearly having her colon removed due to ulcerated colitis, she graduated from Music College with a degree in Music (Jazz), She also released her own album and a few singles and collaborated with a record label in New York thanks to social media. She also tried to tackle her lack of confidence by interviewing musicians that came to Swansea. Amongst them included Jazz musicians Buddy Greco and Kyle Eastwood, Clint Eastward's son. During the latter part of 2019, she ventured into the world of Voice Overs and earlier this year embarked upon and completed a Business Growth Acceleration Course, winning The Accelerator Award
