ABOUT AMBER G PRODUCTIONS:
After going viral in 2013, Amber wanted to create an ASL interpreting agency that focused on making significant changes when it came to ASL access in the music industry. That’s when Amber G Productions was born. She started working on training a diverse group of Deaf and hearing interpreters all over the world so that concertgoers from all walks of life would gain equality to the concert experience. She also focuses and consults on advocacy education in the entertainment field to ensure businesses are providing the best access to their Deaf and HOH consumers. Amber and her talented team continue to increase accessibility efforts at dozens of festivals yearly all over the country and the world. Her company also works with artists to make their music accessible on social media platforms/channels. She often sources Deaf performance interpreters to create the ASL videos. This strengthens our Deaf and hard-of-hearing Ecosystem. Amber strongly believes that by making music accessible at the very inception of any event or concert truly uplifts humanity and creates a vibrational shift in our hearts and minds. Music is a culture and it doesn’t discriminate, it brings people together. “Let us be the music to your eyes.“ - AG

LYRICS
So tight this crown of barbed wire
Its destiny I wear
It splits the skin to the soul
This jagged wreath I bear
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce
Me
With torment
And all the rust that I own
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight this crown
Fist tight, it stains conviction
Drips down to bloodshot eyes
It crushes down what is real
Deep crimson blots the skies
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce
Me
With torment
And all the rust that I own
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight this crown
This rusted empire I own
Bleed as I rust on this throne
Pierce
Me
With torment
And all the rust that I own
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight
This crown of barbed wire
So tight this crown
