DayGlow Music

DayGlow Music But, rhythm, percussion, passion, and persistence; these, you can count on.

The passion project of renowned percussionist Daniel de los Reyes, DayGLOW Music education charity Incorporating music genres from through out the world and nature. Those who have the pleasure of knowing Daniel de los Reyes can clearly identify that he exhibits, not only a vivid light from within, but a reflection of the drumming and percussion virtuosity that has surrounded him since birth. As ce

rtain as the stars are to shine at night, each dawn brings a bright new experience for Daniel, infused with equal parts ambition, focus, gratitude, and optimism. Whether touring the nation as a band member with three-time GRAMMY Award – winning Zac Brown Band, embracing ingenuity with bold new inventions, or inspiring the masses with musical education, there is little that remains a constant in the tremendous life of this musical entrepreneur. The scion in a lineage of drummers and percussionists, Daniel has the musical history and chops, but it’s the rare mix of talent, gumption, and connections upon which he sets himself apart from his peers. His resume is chock-full of performing and recording credits that run the gamut of those who respect and value the tremendous talent that is Daniel including Chicago, Don Henley, Earth, Wind and Fire, Jennifer Lopez, Peter Frampton, and Sheryl Crow…to name a few. The spirit and creativity that has been Daniel’s constant since childhood, combined with years of amassed knowledge and his inherent passion for music, have brought DayGLOWMusic™ to fruition and rendered this incredible concept a part of his reality. Nestled in the picturesque community of Fayetteville, GA, DayGLOW will serve as the basis of a development and training center incorporating music, specifically percussion instruments, as the main tools in an innovative youth music education and development facility. As awareness of the DayGLOW grows, more and more people and companies are taking notice and becoming active participants in bringing DayGLOW to life. One of the first to take an interest was Caterpillar, a household name as an industry leader in building and construction equipment that has been instrumental in clearing the way (literally) for what will serve as the pathways to a variety of musical experiences for DayGLOW participants as they relate to both rhythm and instruments as well as a deeper understanding of the culture from which they originate. Scheduled to open in the summer of 2015, Daniel’s DayGLOW Music™ will initially focus on small groups of 6 to 10 high school-aged youths from the south metro Atlanta area with defined musical interests and ability. The ultimate goal will be to grow to incorporate larger groups of different ages and abilities.
