PERFORMANCE

Over the past eight years, Lorin Nicholson‘s inspiring school performance, called SEE SHARP has been presented in over 1000 schools throughout Australia, New Zealand and the USA, to over half a million people and has received rave reviews from around the globe, including three awards for Excellence from the New South Wales Education Department.

Lorin is Australia’s preeminent youth motivational speaker and one of the nations leading guitarists. Despite being legally blind since birth, he is one of the country’s most successful independent recording artist and has been a finalist in the Australian Country Music Awards, being runner-up to the legendary Tommy Emmanuel. In 2009, Lorin was also a nominee for Australian of the year and later went on to win a Queensland community service award for his outstanding contribution to the community. Lorin has also just recently achieved the seemingly impossible, as he along with brother Dean created Australian history, by becoming the first blind persons to ride pushbikes over 4100 kilometres across Australia from Perth to Sydney.

Lorin incorporates his amazing guitar work and extraordinary life experiences into his award-winning “SEE SHARP” presentation which addresses such issues as

• Choice & Attitude

• Overcoming negativity & Peer Pressure

• Teasing/Bullying

• Respect & Inclusion

• Resilience & Perseverance

• Confidence & Self Esteem
