Solo jazz piano song added to DVous Music's repertoire
BETHANY BEACH, DE—When Daniel Vincent of DVous Music lived at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains in Southwestern, Pennsylvania, he was inspired one evening to sit down at the piano to record "Straight from the heart" in one improvised take. There was no music previously written for the song.
"This one might surprise many of my fans and follower, and I love making music regardless of the genre. I hope some current fans and some folks listen to this one" says Vincent. His piano improvisations date back 30 years when he was "forced" to improve in a college jazz ensemble.
"At Waynesburg College (now Waynesburg University) we were in a national competition. We were given a piece of music we had never seen. I was a sight reader, and the score did not have notes written for the piano part—just names of chords," commented Daniel. Instead of panicking, Vincent's band director instructed him to play the root note of each chord and to listen to the music to add other notes.
"The late Chick Corea would have random people sit beside his piano at concerts, and he would create a song for them on the spot. He would just look and them, and start playing. I loved that, and started to do it with family and friends." The full-length music video is available on YouTube.
DVous Music (pronounced dee-vee-us music) is a record label owned by Delaware artist, Daniel Vincent. His unique multi-genre approach creates complex rhythms and 3D sounds that are a journey for fans. Vincent's first-ever album, "Intensity Project," has been very successful across all major platforms and social media. With over a million video views.

Introducing Daniel Vincent and DVous Music
Daniel Vincent has more than 44 years of award-winning professional experience as a performer, composer, and producer. His formal training was in Classical and Jazz, and he gravitated toward Electronic over the years. He began keyboard lessons at six years of age as a way to help cure his dyslexia.
He is independent, unsigned, and publishes on his private label, DVous Music. With a variety of new music that deviates from the norm and “DV” being Daniel’s initials, it became a natural fit for the name, DVous Music.
When he was a teenager, a family friend brought tapes of Pat Metheny, Jean-Michel Jarre, Chick Corea, Tangerine Dream, and Manheim Steamroller to his home. That convergence of music was captivating for Vincent. Specifically, the "As Falls Wichita, As Falls Wichita Falls" album by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays sparked his interest, because it wasn't like any Jazz that he had heard to that point. Then he learned about Michael Jackson, Chaka Khan, Earth, Wind & Fire, Janet Jackson, Prince, and others that brought about his love for dance music.
