Rapper Kray-Z Legs has crawled up Glastonbury Tor to raise money for a programme helping d/Deaf and disabled people into the music and festival industry.

Kray-Z Legs, whose real name is Mark Humphries, lives with spina bifida, is a double amputee and uses a manual wheelchair full-time. He took on the challenge on Friday, 26 June, because he wanted to see the sunset from the Tor while raising money for Levelling The Field.

Mark is aiming to raise £1,000 for Levelling The Field, a festival trainee programme and roster database for the d/Deaf and disabled community. The programme supports people into backstage and live event roles, with paid career development opportunities, festival experience, mentoring and training.

Mark said the climb was tougher than he had expected, but reaching the top made it worth it.

He said: "It was an incredible experience, quite surreal. When I got about half way my arms felt like jelly and I really had to dig deep, but I was determined to finish what I had started.

"The view at the top for sunset was truly breathtaking and a moment I'll remember forever. The icing on top is knowing the funds raised are going to the most incredible and vital programme in the live events industry, and supporting more people like myself who have a disability but a passion for music and production."

Mark said he had the "absolute pleasure" of being a mentor for Levelling The Field at Glastonbury Festival in 2025 and had seen how vital the programme is. He said that, as an artist with a physical disability, he understands how hard it can be to exist in the music industry when many venues and events are still not accessible for everyone.

He said: "As an artist with a physical disability I personally understand just how hard it is to exist in the music industry due to most venues and events still not being accessible for all, and that's why I want to support LTF to support them in their truly incredible work."

Levelling The Field offers paid career development opportunities, live festival experience in roles such as stage management, artist liaison and event production, wrap-around pastoral care, one-to-one mentoring and British Sign Language training to four trainees.

The programme is delivered by youth development organisations Lyrix Organix and Music4Children, hosted by The Common at Glastonbury Festival, and based at The Rum Shack. A team of festival producers, youth workers, mental health experts and mentors support its delivery alongside the area production team.

Mark said the programme had helped him meet people who shared the same passions and had given him confidence as an artist and as a person. He said the aim was to help change the industry so disabled and non-disabled people can "all party side by side without limitations".

He said: "I have met some truly incredible individuals through the programme and we have all found our people who all share the same passions.

"It has given me confidence as an artist, as a human being knowing others are trying change the industry so we can all party side by side without limitations."

The key aim of Levelling The Field is to increase the number of disabled people taking part in backstage roles in the festival and live event industry. Future goals include improving accessibility at The Common, the South East Corner and West Holts, as well as building a roster of festival producers and creating opportunities at multiple festivals and events.

Mark said: "By placing the voice of d/Deaf and disabled backstage talent at the centre of the initiative, LTF aims to boldly reflect back to Glastonbury Festival, and the sector as a whole, the true goals needed for levelling up and accessibility."

Anyone who wants to support the challenge can donate through Mark's JustGiving page, with money going to Levelling The Field.
