On this episode of MWS I talk with musician and disability activist, ONIKHO!

ONIKHO is a musical artist who mixes electronic beats and sounds with her influences in blues, jazz, and classical music. She recently released her new album, Rodeo Pantheon, a piece of work came to fruition after becoming paralyzed in a car accident in 2014. She tells the universal story of overcoming loss and rediscovering love through her own narrative, and strives to promote visibility of disabled artists in mainstream music.
