April Lockhart (born July 4, 1995) began her musical journey at the age of 7 when she took guitar and piano classes. April Lockhart composed her first single"Different" at 12 years old. She spent a lot of the time of 14 making songs and practicing music. After that, she started taking trips to write with father, who lived in NY as well as LA. April began also to incorporate other related topics for some of her classmates who struggle in the area of bullying by peers and teenage suicide as depicted in the song Take my Hand. Lockhart is a well-known lifestyle influencer, as well as being a partner with clean beauty brands Ilia, has built her own following. Lockhart was born with no left hand. It's an aspect of her identity, but this isn't the whole truth. Lockhart does not deny that she has a disability on Instagram, but she isn't making it the focal point of it. The profile is a statement. It's this: We all have numerous identities. We're much way more diverse than we think we're. Lockhart speaks via video in Nashville. "I don't intend to let it define my personal life. I don't want to only be known as a disability expert. However, it doesn't affect my day-to-day routine. I continue to do the things I normally would and have adjusted to the limitations of my disability. The same is true for my life, and I think it's something that needs to be addressed. Lockhart, a real inspiration for self-acceptance in general, is on a long process to attain the goal. Lockhart admits to having been through a few phases in her body, and felt insecure at times to wear clothes that showed her arms. Today, she wears anything she likes. And she posts pictures on social media. One of the keys to self-love for her is that it's not a goal. It's a fact that I see with everyone with whatever they are struggling with. I think it is important to be surrounded by individuals who truly see the person you are.
