The Gift of Music: Stories of Music Therapy

The Gift of Music is a moving documentary filmed by Scott Rondeau and produced by Hell Creek Entertainment in association with the Canadian Music Therapy Trust Fund. We see how Chin overcomes many challenges to make music his career, meet a newborn without sight who learns to engage her other senses, and are touched by a dying man who is able to record a beautiful love song for his wife. The Gift of Music portrays the amazing ways music therapy touches the lives of people of all ages and abilities across Canada.

“Music therapy literally saved my life,” Vancouver based music producer and songwriter Chin Injeti said. Injeti, who won a Grammy for his work with rapper Eminem, had polio as a child. He had to learn how to overcome major obstacles to be able to walk again and music therapy was part of the process that helped him adapt and move forward confidently in life.
