We are inviting disabled artists and arts educators to be guests and  guest hosts on ABLE Voices. Today's guest is Rivky Grossman, who will  also be our next guest host.

Rivky’s musical career took off last  year, with the writing and recording of her first Album-EP, Angel Sings  the Blues. Raised in Brooklyn, New York, Rivky's music combines unique  beat structure, a folksy blues style, and the influence of her Hassidic  culture upbringing. Rivky's work has been compared to Jacques Brel,  Laura Nyro, Billy Joel, Sara McLachlan, and early Regina Spektor. A  self-taught musician, Rivky lives with Schizo-affective disorder, which,  she says, plays like a fuzzy, backdrop hum in her day to day routine  and ignites her creative spark.

The ABLE Voices podcast is  produced and edited by BIAAE Operations Coordinator, Daniel Martinez del  Campo. The introduction music was written by Kai Levin and the ending  song was written by Sebastian Batista. Kai and Sebastian are students in  the Arts Education Programs at the Berklee Institute for Accessible  Arts Education.
