Hakkımda: BACKGROUND
Who can deny the love that a father gives; the kind of love that influences a child throughout their life. Guitarist, Dwayne McMillan can’t. It was the resonated music from his father’s quartet group that ignited the musical interest. As far back as he remembers, Dwayne recalls the silent father/son bonding by observing his father’s rehearsal sessions in their living room.
From his roots in Brooklyn, NY to his childhood memories in Teaneck, NJ, Dwayne’s musical interests moved beyond the quartet group to the soulful sounds of church music, so at the age of seven, it was the high pitched sounds of the guitar that convinced him of a music career.
As Dwayne grew into adolescence and young adulthood, he began to perfect his talent with guitar lessons and gained support from his biggest fan, his father. His first Gibson GS guitar came as a gift from his father, the same type used in his father’s quartet group.
After graduating from York College, Dwayne chose a career in Information Technology and later became a Microsoft Certified Professional and continued to play for local churches throughout the country. Although Dwayne’s day job created shelter and a means of survival, his love for the guitar never diminished. Performing at every opportunity, this began a sea of networking among other musicians in the local and national arena.
The first big break came as legendary soul and pop singer, Ben E. King of the famed song, Stand By Me, saw Dwayne perform. After joining the band, his repertoire opened to R&B, Reggae, Jazz and Blues. This solidified Dwayne’s musical career.

We've never let you be alone We've been apart of all you've known Whispers from a distance, friends from long ago Memories of other times and things as yet to show
Choosing you was easy for talent brings us here We wait for your emergence for time is drawing near Answer to the calling you feel within your heart Acceptance of the mission of which you are a part
Close the loop on things of old And listen to the words you're told Choose the path that suites you and never fear the day You know that we are with you and we will lead the way
Gather up the feelings that hold you in this spot It's not the place you're supposed to be to use what you've been taught
Collect your dreams around you and sort out what you need A call to come together those we've planted with the seed
