Chris Redding’s Colors in My Mind Makes History, amplifying Neurodivergent Voices
The Colors In My Mind becomes the first-ever Grammy-nominated album to feature a non-speaking autistic artist —Redding’s son, Christian—celebrating inclusion, innovation, and neurodivergent creativity.
Colors in My Mind, the visionary album by Chris Redding, has made history at the Grammy Awards, earning a nomination as the first-ever Grammy-nominated album to feature a non-speaking autistic artist. The album features Redding’s son, Christian, who is on the autism spectrum and communicates without spoken language—marking a transformative milestone for neurodivergent representation in the global music industry.
At its core, Colors in My Mind is a deeply personal and expansive work that centers neurodivergent expression, challenges conventional ideas of communication, and honors the many ways creativity lives beyond words. Christian’s involvement in the album stands as a powerful reminder that artistry is not limited by speech, but expanded through authenticity.
The album also includes the #1 Spotify single and Billboard Top 20 hit “Love Cure,” featuring critically acclaimed artist Lachi, whose work and advocacy have established her as a leading voice for disability inclusion in music. The success of “Love Cure” further underscores the album’s cultural impact—connecting mainstream audiences with a message rooted in empathy, accessibility, and emotional truth.
“Colors in My Mind is about listening with an open mind,” said Chris Redding. “It’s about honoring the full spectrum of human expression and recognizing that some of the most profound voices don’t use words at all. This album exists because of Christian—and because of what he’s taught me about connection.”
With its historic Grammy recognition, Colors in My Mind represents a significant step forward for inclusion in the arts, shining a global spotlight on neurodivergent excellence and redefining what representation can look like at the highest levels of the music industry.
As the world takes notice, Colors in My Mind stands as both a celebration and a call to listen more deeply—affirming that creativity thrives when every mind is valued and every voice is respected.
