  • Repost: Tourette's & Music: A Conversation with Dylan Brady
    May 31 2024

    In honor of Tourette's Awareness Month, I'm releasing one of the top five episodes. This episode features singer-songwriter Dylan Brady. His music is like no other artist. It's somewhere between pop and country. Diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at the age of 13, Dylan found opportunities within his differences. He began speaking in schools all over the US and even Canada, spreading not only awareness of Tourette Syndrome but people’s differences in general, saying, “Everybody’s got something. And we have to accept ourselves and accept others, regardless of what that “something,” is.” This opened up opportunities to be on Disney Channel, work with Zac Brown Band and his Camp Southern Ground, work alongside Rascal Flatts, and so much more.
