TITLE: Crip Punk: Liberation Through Creation and Community
This is a dialogue about accessibility in music and Chris’s journey in breaking down those barriers.
BIO: Rev. Chris (DJ Pastor Rock, He/They) is an award-winning musician, songwriter, and vocalist from Buffalo, NY who crafts justice-centered hip-hop and rock with punk rock attitude and accessible pop hooks.

When not making music, Chris is also the Treasurer of Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities (RAMPD,) its Partnerships Committee Co-Chair, and uses his music to raise awareness and support for Rolling Nation Network a 501c3 non-profit providing grants for wheelchair vans.
