Our Carlson talking advocating for Epilepsy through Music
What a bloody legend Carlson is! Quite late into the diagnostic realm of having epilepsy at age 33 and 5 years later, even though he is still working it all out, he has leapt into the music scene and is now advocating for epilepsy through spoken word, with electronic music in the background. What started as just shouting his frustration into a voice recorder about his diagnosis has now taken the music scene by storm.
