🍛 Elly-May Barnes, musician and inclusion advocate🎸

In this episode, meet the daughter of Aussie rock legend Jimmy Barnes, who’s become a music star in her own right, with her debut album No Good, released last year. 

Elly-May Barnes’s life hasn’t been all guitars, roses and hanging out with rock celebrities. Born more than three months premature with cerebral palsy, she’s faced lifelong chronic pain and many surgeries. 

A passionate advocate for inclusivity, she stars in the ABC documentary Headliners, and is empathetic, resilient, shining both on stage and in real life. 

She’s also a total foodie! On the menu is; Kindergarten menus in France, Mum and Dad’s iconic cooking, and her son Dylan’s lunch box treats and snacks.

Her social cause is the Cerebral Palsy Alliance - a ground-breaking, global centre of expertise for cerebral palsy services and support, research, technology and innovation, and advocacy. Our alliance of great minds work together to deliver a world of opportunity for people with cerebral palsy and similar disabilities, and their families. Find out more here cerebralpalsy.org.au
