Billboard-charting artist, Andy Mineo, has released a visual for his single titled “Hear My Heart,” during International Week of the Deaf 2016 to raise awareness for IWD2016. Mineo caters to the deaf community with this video, which serves as a personal tribute to his deaf sister, Grace. International Week of the Deaf is a week recognized globally the last week of September.
“It’s just an honest record of me essentially apologizing to her for having never learned sign language growing up,” he explains openly during an interview with hip-hop culture icon and veteran Sway Calloway of Sirius XM’s Sway In The Morning. “We’re putting together a music video,” he continues, “I want to see sounds. So we’re really working on something creative and special for her because I really just want her to know that I love her and I’m sorry.”
