i've never been i want to come out there and we're going to have a nice night on the town is that sound ok people who are very comfortable and very confident and very attractive as yourself feel somewhat uncomfortable because they can sense the uncomfortable ness of other people yes that is a very good point but while we're also owned up point you're becoming somewhat popular own instagram yes what do you think instagram has done far breaking down those barriers and stereotypes that you just spoke of and i think that  pretty looking so determined you have a very successful line out love your genes and you know we have a great viewership here in new york city our social media is growing as well and hopefully a very positive and truthful message we cannot thank you enough as always i'll be in touch on instagram and would love your genes can you please put together a sport baseball cap i'm a tennis player and i would love to play and love your genes  fashion show next week as i told you about in our conversation yesterday and i did not have time to go home and change so i'm actually giving this interview in clothes that i've had on for a while and we've had some great fun here putting th set together but you know we're taking a break from putting the fashion show together and i'm interviewing you so yeah but listen jimi hendrix was cool he was a musician and he was revolutionary and from what i understand so are you so there listening to music and i think i was just always effect to eat it with that when i was when i was very young we had to write our biggest dream in second grade here and i wrote then i wanted to be a rock star and i guess it's kind of just like you also have along with your your you have two channels to you tube channels one of which is for the rock group the sad saps and the other one is information about helping you now what is the other channel about you tell us about it because a great video is on both i reviewed both last night both of your channels and i love both but i think you got a better chance of explaining you know the channels tha so for the other two no let's not the music channel it's it's a channel that i started very recently talking about different you know social issues regarding regarding disabilities ok i thought that after after a living on my own i thought it be pretty important to just sort of shed light on a lot of my experiences and maybe hopefully along the way help other individuals in similar situations ok well i love the episode and we might show a little bit of this the episode you put out what is that how to help people in a wheelchair the most recent one that we put out last week was a bathroom etiquette video regarding handicapped stalls but now recently i saw on your instagram page and i love your instagra is a really nice it's an old movie theater that they turned into a venue for a music festival with a bunch of different pittsburgh bands while you know what do you think social media is going to lead to as far as you know breaking down barriers you know what if missing stereotypes about those people who are disabled i think disabled people social media is the strongest tool that we have other th minds it because it's something that puts everybody on an even playing field yes music what would you say what would you call your john r because i went own your music channel and you have a sort of a grungy kind of appeal to it i don't know if that's on purpose i don't know if it was just the videos i saw  i saw a very interesting video a black and white video we just spoke about it of you and the black cat and the imagery of stunning thank you yeah i'm good i'm probably call a like maybe maybe soft full croc or some thing along those those lines i mean the grunge thing is definitely i mean you see a picture of kurt cobain behind me here he's  and yeah i didn't notice but i see it now yes i do get the grunge thing wasn't necessarily on purpose but it sort of happened based on just sort of what i surrounded man self when i was when i was starting out right well beyond music what else do you do so i well right now i do mostly music but then i also do the the you tube channel that we just talked about the like beginning processes of that but that's probably going to be the next that ventures far as branching oh that's great where that i should brings out my next question i was going to ask you know where do you think yourself in the future what career i think as far as my main career though in the future i see myself doing doing primarily primarily music and then hopefully a lot of like public speaking in that kind of stuff and  would you be on a reality show oh absolutely i'm sure he went beyond anything to be honest yes because a lot of people you know they they they think reality shows at one time were not serious but these days we have some very very powerful intellectual and education should say educational t v reality shows that do display a lot of intellectual people we have a lot more information available and we're ready to spread it seems like this kind of pill that i think so too i think that's very very good and it also gets back to what you what you spoke about it with social media you know i mean i started this show  because i you know wanted to kind of get the word out there for people like you early your own you know we earlier on in the year we've interviewed so many successful people who are disabled and but yet when social media  you know i really wonder you know how important you know t v is anymore anyway i mean social media really has taken taken its place in american society and you know fair enough it is that times negative but there's a lot of positive there's a lot of positive factors with social media read it i think i think that rate now we're still a point where t v concerns bridge the gap for some individuals between you know starting off their social media and and getting to point where that they won't necessarily need  to rely on you know older forms of forms of media but i think we're not we're not quite there yet where television is completely replaced but i think i think social media  is is climbing and will continue to climb for a while and it doesn't leave opened a lot of doors for people and i think i think that it is going to turn into and as already started turning into like the next you know form of talk shows or television or and we put on a you know the show is in the middle of a transition now we have various sets here in the building and we're moving up stairs to a smaller set and a lot of our interviews are going to be over skype like this one is and but yet what we're also going to do is be going to hold on to the largest radio for one major event a season so i think for the fall season we would love to have a fashion show as i said we're smack dab in the middle of preparing things the fashion show next week and we're using only female models in the fall i think we want to use mostly male models and we would love for you to come to new york and participate but would that be something you'd like to do absolutely ok and then the by no question is what do you want  people to take away from this you know interview you know i mean you are doing very well now if i understanding it correctly what is your disability i have cerebral palsy ok and you have not let that stop you at all on the contrary you've become a very strong voice far people with the cerebral palsy and you know you're continuing on with your career as a rock star you're about to embark on a modeling acting career and so you're doing so well and and happy and energetic what do you want people to take away from this interview that are that are seeing it this way well i think i think th know i want i want them to know first and foremost they are not alone in that they always have you know people that are going through similar experiences and that social media is a great way to connect with those people also i'd like them to know that they can do any any job that they want to and it doesn't matter if it's not conventional for a disabled person for example to be a musician you can still do it even if you will say that you can't  and i think i want everybody individuals to know that like we're getting we're getting better with with getting rid of stereotypes and you know making the changes that we need to me but i think that it's important for able bodied individuals to understand that we are just as strong and just as independent and just determined as as anyone else in the world and that will it as soon as we figure out how and each of us are doing that in our own individual way and that's great and i really do think it is very very important that able bodied people do understand just as you said that  hey everybody is determined and everybody should follow their dreams so thank you very much for that message thank you all get it well we will be in touch on instagram but we will definitely see you in the fall all right
