Eyeway Conversations with Nyonyok Talom
Episode description
In this episode of Eyeway Conversations, George Abraham speaks with Nyonyok, a multi-talented blind student from Arunachal Pradesh, currently pursuing English Honours at St. Edmund's College, Shillong.
From growing up in a remote corner of Northeast India with limited awareness about disability, to becoming an international blind football player, rapper, music producer, and voice artist—Nyonyok’s story is full of quiet determination and creativity.
In this episode, he shares:
His early years in inclusive and residential schools across Assam and Meghalaya
Representing India in blind football, and his childhood experiments with tying plastic bags to footballs to make them audible
Discovering his voice through music in class 3, and later teaching himself beatboxing and multiple instruments
Transitioning into rap music as a form of personal expression, delivering 478 words per minute
- Learning audio production independently using Reaper, and now freelancing for projects with clients including National Book Trust and NIEPVD
- Why he continues working from Shillong and his vision for launching accessible production courses
Tune in to listen to a story that challenges conventions around disability, ability, and artistic expression.
