That’s when Amber G Productions was born. She started working on training a diverse group of Deaf and hearing interpreters all over the world so that concertgoers from all walks of life would gain equality to the concert experience. She also focuses and consults on advocacy education in the entertainment field to ensure businesses are providing the best access to their Deaf and HOH consumers. Amber and her talented team continue to increase accessibility efforts at dozens of festivals yearly all over the country and the world. Her company also works with artists to make their music accessible on social media platforms/channels. She often sources Deaf performance interpreters to create the ASL videos. This strengthens our Deaf and hard-of-hearing Ecosystem. Amber strongly believes that by making music accessible at the very inception of any event or concert truly uplifts humanity and creates a vibrational shift in our hearts and minds. Music is a culture and it doesn’t discriminate, it brings people together. “Let us be the music to your eyes.“ - AG ABOUT DPAN DPAN, The Deaf Professional Arts Network, is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2006 by deaf musician Sean Forbes, and music producer Joel Martin to make music accessible for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
