The winner of Mentor 12, Byno Ayoni, has revealed that he has lost numerous opportunities in his music career due to his albinism.
In a recent interview, he addressed how societal misconceptions about albinism have impeded his quest for success in the music industry. Despite his talent and dedication, he has faced persistent setbacks at auditions for significant opportunities.
“I attended several auditions and performed well, but the next day, I returned to hear that I didn’t look marketable enough because I am an albino. They identified my appearance as the issue, claiming my eye condition would prevent me from performing at night. Even after I showcased my skills and received interest, they ultimately told me to come back another day solely because of who I am,” he explained.
However, Byno noted that as more people begin to appreciate his talent, the stigma associated with his condition is slowly dissipating.
