From Concert Halls to Prison Cells: Playing for the Forgotten with Eric Genuis

Join us on The Founder Spirit podcast with Eric Genuis, a composer, virtuoso pianist and compassionate storyteller, who has dedicated the past three decades to playing for society’s most broken: death row prisoners, traumatized youth, the elderly, the homeless, and veterans battling PTSD.

Uncover the extraordinary story behind his mission-driven career—how a shocking first prison performance ignited a lifelong calling. Discover how Eric’s compositions are rooted in stories of suffering, redemption, and the relentless fight to see the good in everyone, no matter their past.

Most people overlook the profound power of music to heal, uplift, and transform lives—even those on the brink of despair. Playing for the forgotten, his music becomes a vessel for redemption and human dignity. Eric’s approach to music transcends entertainment—delivering hope and beauty, cultivating compassion, and elevating our collective humanity.
