Three artists redefining what disability means in entertainment — and building some of the most authentic, culturally resonant partnerships available to brands today.
A USA Today Woman of the Year and producer of a GRAMMY-nominated album, Lachi has spent a decade proving that disability culture doesn't need representation — it can produce the mainstream itself.
Lachi tours globally as a musician and keynotes for the UN, the White House, TED, Lincoln Center and SXSW — using humor and raw talent to shift how audiences think about blindness and neurodivergence, often without them noticing they've been moved.
She's the founder and CEO of RAMPD, the award-winning platform connecting music creators and professionals with disabilities to career opportunities with Netflix, the Recording Academy, and Live Nation. Her Penguin Random House book, I Identify As Blind, won a Kirkus Award and had its cover reveal in People.
I Identify As Blind
Published by Penguin Random House, January 2026. A Kirkus Award-winning, humor-driven celebration of disability culture, identity and power — with a cover reveal in People and celebrity interviews throughout.
Magnificent: a family album made entirely by neurodivergent singers, musicians and producers.
Disability culture producing mainstream, household entertainment — not simply represented within it. Positioned as the growth engine connecting Lachi's platform to a paying family audience.
Emmanuel Kelly identifies not as disabled, but as differently abled — an artist whose story of survival has carried him from a Baghdad orphanage to stadium tours with Coldplay, and into a production company of his own.
Born with underdeveloped limbs from prenatal exposure to chemical warfare, Emmanuel was found as an infant on a battlefield in Iraq and raised at the Mother Teresa orphanage in Baghdad. At seven, he and his brother Ahmed were rescued by humanitarian Moira Kelly and brought to Australia, where six surgeries gave him new mobility and independence.
In 2011, at eighteen, his performance of "Imagine" on Australia's X Factor became a viral moment that launched his career. He has since worked with Quincy Jones and Bruno Mars, and built an eight-year friendship and mentorship with Coldplay's Chris Martin — supporting the band on the domestic leg of their 2024 Music of the Spheres World Tour.
In July 2025, Emmanuel became the first differently-abled performer at a FIFA World Cup stage — joining Coldplay, Doja Cat, J Balvin and Tems at the FIFA Club World Cup Final Halftime Show in front of more than 80,000 fans at MetLife Stadium. He's also the first disabled artist to headline the main stage at the Isle of Wight Festival, and his EP No Zodiac reached #3 on the vinyl charts and Rolling Stone Australia's top ten releases.
OUTLYER — a fully inclusive film, TV and event production studio, co-founded with Joanne Reay and Chris Martin.
Emmanuel serves as Co-CEO alongside Joanne Reay, a 25-year film and TV veteran from the BBC, Red Bull Media and Discovery Channel; Chris Martin holds the role of Honorary Founder and President. Under the banner "Zero Barriers Connecting Worlds," OUTLYER produces film, TV and live entertainment built to put differently-abled, neurodivergent and otherwise underrepresented talent in front of the camera, behind the scenes, and on stage — with a stated goal of 1,000 jobs in entertainment over eight years, recognised on the floor of the UK House of Commons.
PJ, Jiseok and Chanyeon are redefining a genre already built on precision — performing in a barrier-free format with sign-language choreography across three sign languages.
"Not another concept. A new genre."
Since debuting in April 2024 with the album GLOW, all three members — who are Deaf or hard of hearing — perform in Korean and English, singing simultaneously in Korean Sign Language, American Sign Language and International Sign.
Their live shows are ADA-designed barrier-free concerts, complete with sign-language interpreters and universally designed merchandise — building some of the most engaged fan behavior in the K-pop space today.
Before this roster, the same team built brand partnerships responsible for over $500M in artist–brand value — work that set the commercial bar this roster is held to.
