Moby performs with Music Therapy Patient Jeremy

Multi-Platinum recording artist Moby performed with Music Therapy patient Jeremy at the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function's Music Has Power Awards Benefit Concert in 2004.

In 2001, 3 men entered Jeremy's apartment, assaulted him, set him on fire and left him to die. But he survived. With both arms so badly injured that they had to be amputated, Jeremy started the long road to recovery. When he arrived at Beth Abraham to join the music therapy program, he began to write songs about his new life -- how things were different, how people treated him now, how his priorities changed, and how he realized that,despite what happened to him, life could still be good. By playing and listening to his own songs again and again, he was able to tap into wellsprings of inner strength to help him move on through his difficult recovery. Music is central to his new life in that it connects him with that part of himself that is expressive, accomplished, and hopeful.
