For JP, the rationale for the blind jokes is, well, reasonable. He is legally blind. Born with a degenerative eye condition; his genre tags of Blind Indie Rock, and now Blind Indie Prose make more sense. Otherwise, he'd just be sort of pretentious and snarky, but not in the fun depraved sitcom way.Corwyn's vocal-driven indie rock style is infectious, described as "Shinedown and Angie Aparo on a tour bus ... with Stevie Wonder driving!" On vocals and acoustic guitar, Corwyn has helmed an EP, four full-length albums, and numerous single releases thus far in his career. He has taken a raw, and unplugged show from Tampa, up the east coast to New York, overseas to the UK, EU, and Asia, and back again.But Corwyn's harbored a dark, secret obsession throughout his musical career: his other driving force - writing fiction. Corwyn started work on "The Cycle of Bones" in early 2019. This epic multi-book series burned its way onto the literary scene with the novella "The Dawn of Unions" (November 2019). It has continued with the novels "The Drums of Unrest;" (November 2020), and "The Eaters of Time;" (September 2022). Combining his passions, JP has recorded soundtracks for the first two books, including an original cinematic score and songs appearing in the pages of the novels.Yep, he's blind. But he's hardly unaware. So why should you be?view less
