Jeff Moyer has been called resilient, unstoppable, and unbelievable. He has applied his talents in numerous and diverse areas, all of which have opened hearts and minds toward bettering the human condition. His perspective can be found in his music, books, and NPR commentaries. When he was five, Jeff’s parents were told by a clinician that he was pretending he couldn’t see. Through those difficult years, Jeff gained hard-won insight into the isolated outsider who struggled both in the classroom and on the playground. After some time, medical professionals could no longer deny a diagnosis of blindness. 

Jeff has been writing and performing original music since 1965. His publishing company, Music from the Heart, has brought a broad spectrum of music, books, and innovative historical productions to the public. He has been a leader in the Disability Rights Movement for almost five decades. Jeff graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Berkeley. Soon after he earned his Masters degree in Rehabilitation Administration from the University of San Francisco. Jeff developed the first programs  for adults with visual disabilities at the Center for Independent Living in the bay area.

In 1992, Jeff started working full-time writing music for all ages, including books of classroom activities and a school musical addressing the scourge of bullying and the experience of exclusion, ridicule, and violence. These published materials led to a decade of life on the road where he performed and spoke at schools and universities in 47 states and internationally. Jeff has been invited to the White House three times and has presented his unique blend of engaging, original music, eloquent public speaking, and humor to audiences worldwide.

Jeff currently hosts a live vlog called We are People First - The Jeff Moyer Show. You can learn more about Jeff by simply visiting his website at JeffMoyer.com.
