Dyniss was given a guitar around age twelve. His parents enrolled him in guitar lessons, but he switched to drums after a few years, while happily learning classical bass in high school. As university began, he entered the world of audio production and was soon recording, mixing and mastering bands in the Toronto area, which he continued to do full-time for a decade. Meanwhile, a semi-successful indie band which he passionately played drums for split up. That particular band had significant purpose in their music and lyrics, so Dyniss could not imagine playing drums for another band ever again. He therefore focused on the guitar and began songwriting and singing original compositions to share his own purposeful messages about the human condition. This culminated in his first album, Electra Brown, in 2000. He has been making original music ever since.
While making original music part-time, Dyniss spent a decade as a senior manager at the head offices of two major retail organizations: The Home Depot and Hudson’s Bay Company, where he learned how to talk the language of organizations and how to connect with organizational audiences. Having spoken in front of hundreds of employees across North America and having played live music in front of up to two thousand attendees at once, he knows what it takes to motivate and inspire.
Dyniss’ accomplishments include writing the Green Party of Canada‘s official anthem, recording a thousand versions of one Christmas song and releasing four original albums. Since he is an expert in songwriting and music production, you can hire him personally to write and record a world-class song for any campaign or event.
In his daily life, he focuses on self-improvement through the teachings of leaders such as Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Don Miguel Ruiz and Louise Hay. He goes to the gym several times each week and eats healthfully. Keywords in his life are: positivity, happiness, empowerment, discipline, gratitude and courage. Simple pleasures include being in his back yard watching nature or hanging out with his cat. At the end of his life, he wants to be an official “wise old man.” Most importantly, however, Dyniss wants to get to know you through his songs.
He is educated but never stops learning. He has strong beliefs but promotes an open mind. He is a lover of nature but lives deep in the city. He is Dyniss: The Man of Song.
