Music is a common career of choice for people without sight, both in Real Life and in the realms of fiction. In many cases, the musician's lack of vision will actually enhance their musical abilities because, with little or no visual information to process, the brain rededicates some of that processing power to hearing. Especially when vision is lost early in life, this can become a real-life Disability Superpower... though, of course, the blind musician still needs dedication and lots of practice. The Trope Maker is probably Homer, the semi-legendary 8th-century BCE bard credited with two cornerstones of Western literature. See also Your Eyes Can Deceive You, Blind Black Guy. May be a Handicapped Badass. A Sub-Trope of Genius Cripple. Subtrope of Ironically Disabled Artist. Compare and contrast Deaf Composer, when an artist's disability directly conflicts with their skill. |

The two-part "The Problem at Gallows Gate" episode of Jonathan Creek had a musician pretending to be blind in order to enhance his reputation... not to mention using it as an excuse to feel up women because that's how he "sees" what they look like. He used to be blind however, it's just that he decided only to tell a very small group of people that he'd had corrective eye surgery. Even his own girlfriend didn't seem to be aware of it. | |

Stevie Nicks, while not as extreme as some examples on the list, is (close to) legally blind and requires assistance to find her spot onstage. She had surgery in the 1990s but her eyesight is still very bad. | |

Codex Equus: Prince Healing Song is one. Much like Jeff Healey, whom he is based on, Healing Song was blinded during infancy when he was struck with retinoblastoma, a rare type of cancer that affected his eyes, necessitating their surgical removal by doctors and subsequent replacement with prosthetic eyes. However, he showed signs of musical talents when he was three years old, and he eventually became known for playing both single-necked and double-necked guitars like a piano by sitting and playing it flat on his lap, resulting in a richer and more fluid sound. And while not an academic genius like some of his friends such as Princess-Regent Merula, Princess Twilight/Amicitia Sparkle, and Prince Crimson Star, Healing Song is very intelligent music-wise and has a great auditory memory even tens of thousands of years later, being capable of writing his own songs in Braille and playing many Second-Age songs completely by memory. | |

In Get Crazy, we meet a B.B. King Expy at a fellow blues man's funeral. All the other blues men in attendance are blind, throwing flowers, well, blindly. One of them walks into an open grave. | |

In Brandon Rogers' video "Sound is Blind", blind fashion designer Jürgen Klausvonschwitz decides to take up music, boasting that he'll become the world' first ever blind musician, with the unstated but implicit punchline being that he's already preceded by the highly famous Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, etc. and just doesn't know it. | |

Blind Mag from Repo! The Genetic Opera Though the fact she's in-universe promoted as "Blind Mag" is a subversion, as she's not actually blind anymore, and hasn't been for seventeen years. That's hardly a secret, either. Perhaps GeneCo itself is playing on this trope? | |
