After her father lost his hearing, singer Carolina East added ASL interpreters to her shows | CBC News

CBC NewsSinger Carolina East, right, performs on stage with American Sign Language interpreter Denika Philpott. East says she plans to make the arrangement a permanent fixture in her future shows.

"There were frequencies in my music he couldn't hear. He couldn't hear the lyrics, he never got the feel of music. Basically he could just hear the bass and some jumbled-up form of lyrics," East said Wednesday, adding he explained it was like listening to music with a pillow over his ears. Denika Philpott, an ASL interpreter who works with Triangular Communications in St. John's, says interpreting music is much different from interpreting speech. It's a taxing, full body experience that is often done with two interpreters."It's on my face. It's on my body. It's in the way you sway. It's everything," Philpott said.

Philpott says having that accessible option available is key as it provides a conduit for communication and entertainment.

Some of the coolest ASL Interpreters you'll find work for rappers. Couple of them upstage said acts from time to time.

Wait. Couldn’t Carolina East just sing louder? How come I have to do all the thinking around here? Why is everybody acting so stupid?
