Sky's disabilities don't stop him from doing what he loves. Sky Mundell is a young jazz pianist who is totally blind, severely deaf, has cerebral palsy and brain damage that results in some autism like behaviors. He entered the Vancouver Island's Got Talent contest (VIGT) and was declared the winner from 84 contestants. He learns a song just by listening to it once or twice and can then play it. Despite being severely deaf he has perfect pitch. I first met Sky at CNIB summer camp and still play a CD he made of himself singing songs from the 40's. Such an honour to know this young man.
