How could you be so blind? You haven’t heard of JP Corwyn? You haven’t seen him live? ...Haven't read his writings? ...Haven't heard his music? How embarrassing for you!
Really, though. It’s okay. You’re in the right place. For JP, the rationale for the blind jokes is, well, reasonable. He is legally blind. Born with a degenerative condition, he has been legally blind since birth, with the shades pulling ever tighter. This makes his genre tag of Blind Indie Rock make more sense. Otherwise, he’d just be sort of pretentious and snarky, but not in the fun depraved sit-com way.
The musical genre tag of #BlindIndieRock, and the subsequent birth of his author brand - tagged #BlindIndieProse - are a thematic play on his lack of obviously blind trai How could you be so blind?

The musical genre tag of #BlindIndieRock, and the subsequent birth of his author brand - tagged #BlindIndieProse - are a thematic play on his lack of obviously blind traits. He doesn’t walk into walls, as a rule. You won’t find him rattling a coffee cup for change while riding on subways. Really, he’s quite delinquent as a blind cliché, and thus the smirk and the wink towards his so-called "handicap".
JP Corwyn isn’t quite “Stevie Wonder blind”, or “Ronnie Milsap blind”. But then, those icons would have made music regardless of what their eyes were capable of. Maybe they did it a little better than those who can see; maybe their intuition is stronger and their sense of the click-click-clicking of the world around them is more keen.

…But Corwyn’s harboured a dark, secret obsession throughout his musical career. He’s spent years building worlds, universes for later use in his other driving force – writing fiction.
In late 2019; Corwyn’s debut effort will burn its way into the literary world, beginning with the first installment of “the Cycle of Bones”. This epic multi-book series begins with the novella “the Dawn of Unions,” (November 2019,) with the first full-length novel, “the Drums of Unrest,” following one year later to the day. In September 2022, Corwyn released the third volume of the series, entitled “The Eaters of Time”.
To accompany the series (and to flex both sets of muscles simultaneously,) Corwyn has released the official Dawn of Unions soundtrack in 2020, which features both an original symphonic score, and some in-world original songs sung and performed by Corwyn, himself. The subsequent soundtracks for the other books in the series will follow in 2023.
For first glimpses be sure to follow along on social media and Patreon for unique concept art and other exclusive content. And of course to keep up to date with your Friendly Neighborhood Blind Guy as things unfold.

Yep, he’s blind. But he’s hardly unaware. So why should you be?

J.P. Corwyn liked Stewart Butler's review of The Drums of Unrest (The Cycle of Bones): "A master study in world building The Drums of Unrest is a character-focused story that is as intimate as it is grand; as touching as it is terrifying. It provides a wide, wealthy cast of characters, none of which fall flat. Corwyn managed to breathe l" Read more of this review »
