TapWaterz, the paraplegic hip-hop artist, has become a beacon of hope for those who face adversity, using his music to speak out against social injustices and inspire people to never give up. With an impressive resume that includes speaking at the White House, performing at the United Nations, and collaborating with icons such as Snoop Dogg and Stevie Wonder, TapWaterz has solidified himself as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Despite facing a life-altering tragedy as a teenager, when he was accidentally shot and left paralyzed, TapWaterz refused to let his setbacks define him. He co-founded the 4 Wheel City movement, aimed at creating more opportunities for people with disabilities and combating gun violence among youth.

TapWaterz’s dedication to making a difference in the world, has led him to speak on the first-ever Recording Academy panel on accessibility “Music Purpose and Community,” attend the first Disability Listening session with Grammy Leadership, and become a founding member of RAMPD (Recording Artists and Music Professionals with Disabilities), the leading organization for accessibility and disability inclusion in the music industry.
