George Dennehy Biography

George Dennehy was born without arms and has become an inspiration to many around the globe. He has faced numerous challenges, including a life-threatening situation in a Romanian orphanage before being adopted by a U.S. family at the age of one. Dennehy began his musical journey at eight years old, initially learning to play the cello and subsequently teaching himself to play guitar, electric bass, and basic piano using his feet. His unique ability to play music in this manner, combined with a powerful message of hope and possibility, has touched many. Dennehy conveys that every individual has a purpose and that overcoming obstacles is within everyone's reach.

Dennehy’s musical talents and captivating story gained international attention after a video of him performing the Goo Goo Dolls song "Iris" went viral. This exposure led to an invitation from the Goo Goo Dolls themselves to perform alongside them at Musikfest, where he played for an audience of 7,000 enthusiastic fans. His influence continued to grow as he ventured into public speaking, delivering a TED Talk that earned a standing ovation and was subsequently named one of the "Best of the Year" by CBS News.Com. Dennehy has appeared on television and radio worldwide, inspiring people across various platforms.

Currently, Dennehy travels globally, sharing his faith, story, and music full-time. He is a recognized motivational speaker with a focus on Christian and inspirational messages. His speaking engagements have included prestigious events such as the Angels in Adoption gala and various educational institutions. Dennehy has also released a CD of original music titled "Have My Heart" and continues to use his platform to encourage and motivate others, emphasizing the message that anything is possible despite obstacles. Through his keynote programs like "Overcoming Obstacles" and "Life - It's a Gift," Dennehy shares his life experiences and musical talents, connecting deeply with his audiences across different venues.
