Jamie is 16 years old and lives alone with his mother, Jane. He was born so prematurely that he could fit into the palm of her hand. As well as being blind, he is autistic and has cerebral palsy, but despite his profound disabilities, Jamie has an exceptional talent for music. Music is a major part of Jamie’s life – and it makes him happy.
From pop and rock to classical and jazz, Jamie loves all kinds of music. He is able to listen to and remember a piece of music and then play it by ear. He plays with great sensitivity and puts in all the right emotions at the right time. It seems that being blind has given him a perception of things that other people do not hear or feel.
