Blindboyboatclub shares the importance of solitude

Blindboyboatclub opens up about solitude and how it helps him regulate his emotions. With tracks from Gucci Mane and Dusty Springfield finishing with a 20-minute calm mix.

Grounding is a series which celebrates the unique perspectives and creativity of neurodivergent artists. Across the series they explore how neurodiversity shapes their relationship with music and highlight the songs that hold personal significance.

Musician, author, and podcaster Blindboyboatclub opens up about solitude and how it helps him regulate his emotions. For Blindboyboatclub, solitude isn’t about being a loner or introverted — he feels most at ease when alone in a crowd or immersed in music through his headphones. Alongside personal stories, he shares a curated selection of tracks, including Gucci Mane and Dusty Springfield finishing with a 20-minute mix to close the show.

Produced by Louise Mason for Granny Eats Wolf, working with The Donaldson Trust, The National Body for Neurodiversity.
