About Genene Blackwell
Genene Blackwell is a musical miracle. She is blind from birth due to ROP (Retinopathy of Premature Birth) and after suffering from brain hemorrhaging. Genene was not given much chance of survival. Despite these challenges, the sound of music penetrated her entire being and has served as the conduit to her survival and success. She is now an accomplished singer, pianist and studio musician.
Genene began playing piano “by ear” at the age of three. Gifted with perfect pitch, she has the ability to instantly transpose any song into beautiful melodies on the piano.
