Emmanuel Kelly says : "This has been my goal for many years, to be able to

focus my efforts on driving a positive approach to the differently abled. We

need to educate, empower, enable and create value for those who need our

support, using a commercial and business approach. I am very proud to announce

this company and am excited for the future and the possibilities that Outlyer

can realise. We have to end stigmatisation to allow innovation. I am hugely

grateful for the support from Chris and the multitude of other great heartfelt

individuals who surround me on a daily basis."

Chris Martin says: "I'm honoured to support Emmanuel and his team at Outlyer

Entertainment as they continue to provide a platform for differently-abled

artists across the entertainment industry.

With a long history of important cultural contributions - from Kenny Baker to

Beethoven - the differently-abled & disabled communities remain vital in the

fields of music, film and television, and I look forward to their increased

representation.

I'm excited to see the new talent that Outlyer Entertainment uncovers and

develops as we continue to move towards a more diverse entertainment industry,

open to everyone, from anywhere."
