Chris Redding, a recording artist and dedicated neurodiversity advocate, is making waves in the music industry and beyond with his latest album, “Visions of Sounds.” As a neurodivergent individual, he brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to his work, using his platform to celebrate and advocate for neurodiversity. 

Having faced the challenges and stigmas associated with neurodivergence firsthand, Chris is particularly passionate about addressing the compounded difficulties faced by individuals of color. These communities often navigate a complex intersection of biases and systemic barriers, particularly in accessing essential needs such as healthcare and education. Chris emphasizes the importance of highlighting and addressing these disparities to foster a more inclusive and equitable society. 

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, he shared the inspiration behind “Visions of Sounds,” which reflects his son’s Autism journey 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 appreciation of the experiences of individuals 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 stimming, and echolalia (repetitive vocal patterns). 

“Visions of Sounds” has also achieved remarkable success, topping the Billboard charts and hitting the #2 world album spot on iTunes. This milestone is a testament to the hard work and dedication that went into the album, and the incredible support from the fans and the music community, especially with his upcoming visit to New York City in a live NBC Daily Show appearance. 

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

Chris has also partnered with Dr. Hokehe Eko, one of the nation’s leading pediatricians based in Oklahoma and advocate for autism awareness. Dr. Eko is also the founder of a pioneering virtual clinic specializing in the evaluation and treatment of children with autism, and has been a vital supporter of this initiative, and has thoroughly reviewed “Vision of Sounds” and certified it as “pediatrician approved.” This endorsement underscores the album’s positive impact on both children and adults on the autism spectrum, furthering the collaboration’s goal of fostering a deeper understanding of autism, promoting inclusivity, and providing therapeutic benefits through music. 

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

Chris Redding’s work represents a powerful fusion of art and advocacy, driving forward the conversation around neurodiversity and mental health. Through “Vision of Sounds” and his ongoing initiatives, Chris continues to inspire and empower individuals across the globe. 

The album is free to listen to on Spotify
