Chris Redding is making waves in music and is committed to mental health and neurodiversity

Nationwide — Chris Redding, a recording artist and passionate advocate for neurodiversity, is making waves in the music industry and beyond with his latest album, “Visions of Sounds.” As a neurodivergent person, he brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to his work and uses his platform to celebrate and advocate for neurodiversity.Having experienced the challenges and stigmas associated with neurodivergence, Chris is particularly passionate about addressing the complex difficulties faced by people of color. These communities often find themselves caught in a complex tangle of biases and systemic barriers, particularly when it comes to accessing basic needs like healthcare and education. Chris emphasizes the importance of highlighting and addressing these inequalities to foster a more inclusive and equitable society.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stonehe shared the inspiration behind “Visions of Sounds,” which reflects his son’s journey with autism and his own experiences with ADHD. The album is more than just a musical project; it is a global initiative aimed at fostering a deeper understanding of the experiences of people on the autism spectrum. Bringing together a collective of GRAMMY award-winning producers and researchers, the album captures the essence of neurodivergence through the innovative use of neurological frequencies, vocal stimulation, and echolalia (repetitive vocal patterns).

Visions of Sounds was also a notable success, topping the Billboard charts and reaching #2 on iTunes worldwide albums charts. This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication that went into the album, as well as the incredible support from fans and the music community, especially with his upcoming visit to New York City for a live performance on the NBC Daily Show.

The release of Vision of Sounds has garnered significant attention and is currently being considered for a Grammy. To coincide with this recognition, Chris is launching a social media campaign celebrating mental health and neurodiversity. This initiative aims to highlight the unique strengths and perspectives of individuals with different neurological conditions and foster a more inclusive and understanding community.

Chris also collaborates with Dr. Hokehe Eko, one of the country’s leading pediatricians based in Oklahoma and an advocate for autism education. Dr. Eko is also the founder of a groundbreaking virtual clinic specializing in the evaluation and treatment of children with autism. He has been a key supporter of this initiative and has thoroughly reviewed and certified “Vision of Sounds” as “Pediatrician Recommended.” This recommendation underscores the album’s positive impact on children and adults on the autism spectrum and furthers the collaboration’s goal of promoting a deeper understanding of autism, promoting inclusivity, and providing therapeutic benefits through music.

Visions Of Sounds features collaborations with Grammy-winning producers such as Karl Rubin, Dr. Jeffery Redding, Marcella Araica and Dubba-AA. The album also features artists such as Ms. Meka Nism, Michelle Jones, SamTRax, Jimmy Nusoul and Yung Garah. The album’s single “Love Over Here” has already captivated audiences in regions across Africa, Europe and North and South America, sparking a popular dance competition that is generating awareness and acceptance through Redding’s groundbreaking sound.

Chris Redding’s work represents a powerful blend of art and advocacy, driving the conversation around neurodiversity and mental health forward. Through Vision of Sounds and his ongoing initiatives, Chris continues to inspire and encourage people around the world.
