About the Album: The Colors In My Mind

by Chris Redding

The Colors In My Mind isn’t just another record — it’s a landmark in modern New Age and ambient music. Created by Chris Redding, this album blends healing frequency soundscapes, soulful vocal textures, and deeply personal storytelling that reflect his journey as a neurodivergent artist.

Its nomination for Grammy Award for Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album — one of the few Grammy categories dedicated to new-age and ambient work — signals formal recognition by the music industry, elevating the album beyond niche listeners to mainstream ears.

What makes this album particularly significant is its mission: to use sound as a vehicle for healing, inclusion, and neurodiversity advocacy. Redding partners with likeminded collaborators (like Lachi) and designers (cover-art by Afro-German autistic artist Stephan White) to build an immersive, emotionally rich, and socially conscious musical experience.

In this context, my own contribution to The Colors In My Mind carries more weight: I was part of a project that isn’t just musically ambitious, but culturally and spiritually resonant. My involvement helped shape a listening experience that transcends genre — aiming not just for aesthetic beauty, but for empathy, connection, and healing potential.
