Ramping Things up with Arthur Gwynne
The music business is a difficult industry to enter regardless of age, ethnicity, or background now imagine putting a mental health challenge or disability on top of it. I sit down with Arthur Gwynne the operations manager for an organization called RAMPD or Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities as we discuss how the origination has grown over the last three years from an idea by Preforming artist Lachi to an organization that continues create accessible events, work with all kinds of musicians and even create an accessible stage at the Grammy's so anyone can be included. We also discuss how RAMPD will continue its mission to showcase disables as a part of culture rather then a label or a diagnosis.

Arthur Gwynne
Operations Manager at RAMPD, Business Manager for artist Lachi
Arthur Gwynne is the operations manager for RAMPD, a fast-growing platform connecting the music industry with disability-inclusive solutions while offering community, opportunity and resources to music professionals with disabilities and neurodivergence. Arthur also manages the career of award-winning recording artist and globally touring personality, Lachi, running a diverse team of about twenty employees and agents, booking national tours, negotiating major contracts, and interfacing with major brands, donors and public figures on a weekly basis.
Identifying as neurodivergent himself, Arthur's mission has been to break down the silos and barriers between disability-oriented projects and mainstream discussions in order to build community. Arthur often speaks openly how he juggles the high-pressure music and entertainment industry while juggling his mental health as a neurodivergent manager, his journey of disclosure, and how he now proselytizes for universal access, disability pride and inclusive community building.
