IN THE NEWS: Last March, a non-verbal autistic man living in silence took the music industry by storm when he recording a charity album in a pitch perfect singing voice. Locked into a world of silence by autism, 26 year old Kyle Coleman has rarely spoken more than a few words.

Diagnosed with classic autism at age 3, Kyle was unable to communicate through speech.  As a mute child, Kyle was fascinated with music. His talent and impressive memory for lyrics went undetected for many years, until he stunned his mother with his remarkable gift.  Through music therapy, Kyle found his way to musical expression.  ‘It is kind of awe inspiring,” said his mother Caroline. “Song has unlocked this innate, built-in gift that he had. It has taken Kyle to a different level.”

With the support of the National Autistic Society, the autistic pop star recorded and released his first album in 2012, featuring nine covers of popular songs by artists such as Snow Patrol, Elbow and Take That, as well as a song of his own, “Just Listen”.  His debut album “Therefore I am” is available on iTunes as well as his own website (kylecoleman.co.uk/)

A new album of original material written for Kyle by Caroline Coleman and John Carter is currently being recorded, with an album release date of World Autism Day: April 2nd, 2014.
