Core Consciousness Health & Wellness w/ Maya Da Traina - Season 2

OUR GUEST MONDAY 3/24/2014: DEACON BURNS OF KOUNTERCLOCKWISE, PRODUCER, WRITER, LYRICIST, ARTIST. CALL IN @ 646.716.6825 TO LISTEN INTO INSPIRATIONAL STORY ABOUT OVERCOMING & MOVING FORWARD. Listen in to the discussion about their new animated movie "Kounterclockwise In Foreverland", drawn & directed by Jim Lujan.  Cleveland Heights' Alternative Punk-Hop act Kounterclockwise formed over a decade ago in the heart of the South Bronx. From New York City, Kaya Rogue and Cleveland native Deacon Burns quickly developed their skills while doing production work for several artists. 

In 2007, as the group was courted by several indie & major labels; fate took a wrong turn when Deacon had a tragic accident – breaking 5 vertebrae, several ribs, collapsed both lungs & had a hairline neck fracture. He suffered a severe spinal cord injury that resulted in paralysis of both legs. Deacon decided that the show must go on no matter what. He spent his entire recovery time writing songs, accumulating an impressive catalogue. An entertaining part of the group’s live show is when the audience dresses up as different characters. Their concerts have been labeled as “visual art”.
