Grace Capaldi
Grinning Dog Records/Echotown Studio Director
Dorchester, Dorset
Grace is new to the industry and she is enjoying the ride. She co-runs a record label and accessible recording studio in Dorset with her husband and sister. The studio was a complete new build and Grace co-project managed every step of the process, being a permanent wheelchair user, she was an advocate for the disability side of the build and was strongly involved in researching and gaining advice, including specialised advice from those already successful in the industry like Jason Dasent. Together, they built an inclusive studio with sensory lighting, braille, Komplete Kontrol devices to control MIDI instruments, adapted/accessible instruments like the Arcana, step-free access and much more to make everyones creative space as easy as possible. Music is inclusive as should the process be.
