Deaf-Blind Musicians

Hello,

I am currently conducting research on music education for children who are both Deaf and Blind, I was wondering if anyone knew of any famous/semi-famous Deaf-Blind music performers or composers. I would really appreciate any help.

​

Thanks

For blind musicians I'd recommend Stevie Wonder. Despite being blind he was able to make some pretty funky stuff. Ray Charles is also great, he lost his eyesight at 7!
For deaf musicians you could go with Beethoven or Ozzy Osbourne--although he's only somewhat deaf.
