Daniels love of music can be traced to his early childhood. Based upon his family’s love for music, Gregory seemed destined to keep the tradition alive. Though many different instruments appealed to him, his favorite was the saxophone. Dis- courage after failing his sixth-grade music class, he put the saxophone away and vowed to never play it again. Years later, how- ever, fate intervened. Drawing strength from God’s inspiration, he decided to try music one last time. With God’s love as his principal guide, Gregory found the courage to play the saxophone better than ever. Through a musical journey filled with sacri- fice, obedience, great patience and surrender to the will of God, Gregory’s musical voice continues to be enjoyed by audiences far and wide.
