About Daniel’s Music:
Founded in 2006 by the Trush Family, Daniel’s Music Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides access to music for people with disabilities.
Our free Expressive Arts Program, which includes in-person and online events, combats isolation through socialization, builds confidence and self-esteem through performance, and promotes overall health and wellness. Since inception, we have offered 15,000 free, in-person classes at our music center in NYC. Our online program continues to grow with participants from 37 states in the US, and 10 cities in Canada attending our online classes and events.
Driven by our passion and commitment to help build a more equitable future for artists with disabilities, we created two platforms to showcase their talent. Just Call Me By My Name® is a boutique record label that promotes uplifting and positive music through videos, performance opportunities and concerts. The Danny Awards, our annual, global award show recognizes the incredible contributions of artists with disabilities to the world of music.
Each July, using music as the great equalizer, we unite individuals of all abilities at our one-day, all-encompassing music festival that celebrates Disability Pride Month - Hello Inclusion: A Festival of Possibilities. The event is hosted at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts (the original site of Woodstock 1969). It includes performances by our record label artists on the Horizon Stage, as well as community-building activities like dance parties, drum circles, and accessible instrument demos, bringing everyone together as one.
As an organization we are passionately committed to changing perception and diminishing isolation for individuals with disabilities. To learn more about Daniel’s Music, please visit www.danielsmusic.org.
