Singer and pianist Melody Gardot has taken an unusual road to putting out her first album. She was seriously injured four years ago when she was hit by an SUV while riding her bike, and since then has suffered from memory loss and sensitivity to light and sound.

She was a piano player before the accident, but using music therapy to recover from her accident has led her to pursue a musical career and record her first album. Learn about Melody Gardot's amazing road back from severe injury, and the occasional detours she still faces, in this interview.
