#35 Synesthesia with Bloom De Wilde

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Musician, I’m joined by Bloom De Wilde, an award-winning, multi-platinum-selling artist, singer-songwriter, producer, poet, visual artist, and coach. Bloom’s unique creative approach and experience are deeply influenced by her Synesthesia—a fascinating condition where senses intertwine, allowing her to see sounds, hear colours, and experience art in vivid multi-sensory dimensions. We dive into how Synaesthesia shapes her artistry and what it means for her creative process, exploring the powerful ways it can enhance both music and visual art. Along the way, we discuss broader topics such as embracing neurodiversity in the arts, finding your authentic voice, and how to channel sensory experiences into compelling creative work. If you’re interested in how neurodivergence can be a source of inspiration and transformation, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. Let’s continue creating ripples together.
