Avi Albert

Location: Buffalo, NY

Challenge: Cerebral Palsy

Born with Cerebral Palsy, Avi Albert wanted to express himself through any form he could get his hands on.

At first, it was a difficult path, with not too many people but his family by his side, Avi ignored all the naysayers. His motto, "there is no such thing as cant only I can," his passion and desire to express himself musically pushed him beyond his limits, to the point where one day he grabbed a pair of drumsticks and rocked his heart out.

Inspired by jazz legends like Gene Krupa, the drums have gifted a treasure of resilience, persistence, and courage.
