DaNell Daymon Biography
DaNell Daymon is a native of Rochester, New York, who established his brand in the music industry while residing in Seattle, Washington. His passion for bringing out the "brilliance" in the people of God awarded him the opportunity to direct various choirs and ensembles throughout the world. DaNell often quotes, "My ability to hear into the future enhances trust in my singers."
While in Seattle, Mr. Daymon gained employment within their educational department, working with high school-aged adolescents on various subjects. For seven years, DaNell molded the minds of America’s future leaders by providing oversight, guidance, and coaching through educational and personal achievements.

DaNell's talents are many, and he specializes in musically rearranging songs in various genres with a present-day twist. After hearing DaNell's refreshing rendition of the Motown classic "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Simon Cowell called him a "musical genius."
After 17 years of residing in Seattle, DaNell followed God's call to expand his vision and cultivated a Greater Works Chapter in the Washington, DC, area.
