Years ago, Darryl had sent a CD of 10 songs to DSM Producers of New York. Dayton, OH native Suzan Bader is the CEO of DSM. Her company is administered Worldwide by Warner Chappell. Darryl had not heard from DSM for a while, and was unaware that DSM had just moved to a new suite to a larger office complex in New York. A box of CD’s had been left by the moving company. The new tenant saw them and carried them to DSM’s new suite. Ironically, Darryl’s CD was at the top of the stack and Ms. Bader promptly gave it a listen. Within a matter of 2 days, she contacted Darryl and an offer was made to publish these original 10 songs, with Warner publishing them internationally.
“This one small thing has probably been the greatest asset in my musical career,” says Darryl, and is a door that without God’s intervention would not be open
Darryl is a graduate of Kent State University and was an excellent baseball player who has developed an affinity for The Cheesecake Factory, or just about anything that tastes good. The Redondo Pier is a hangout on a warm sunny day during California trips.
