Trey Daniels

Alto Saxophonist Trey Daniels’ multi-faceted artistry is influenced by an old school Gospel Jazz vibe. Although having played every Sunday when he was growing up, at New Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in his hometown of Tampa, the spiritual side of Daniels’ musical soul comes from an even deeper place than most Christian raised musicians. The unique story driving his retro-funk meets contemporary R&B, jazz and pop sound starts with his premature birth. Born at two pounds, eight ounc- es, as an infant he was unable to use his own lungs to breathe – so, he says, “It’s truly a miracle that I am able to do what I do today, and a testament to the grace of God. It’s also the reason I am able to play with such passion, energy and honesty.”
Those characteristics have been part of Trey’s musical life from the beginning, growing up in a music-friendly household where his parents exposed him to everyone from Luther Vandross and John Coltrane to Parliament Funkadelic and The Gap Band. Wanti
