about

Born and raised in Oklahoma, DeWayne discovered and developed his musical gifts throughout the entirety of his life. With church attendance a constant presence, the harmonies of church music would combine with other eclectic influences to inform the ear and chisel the soul of DeWayne’s creative output. Never forgetting the Giver of the gift, he endeavored to formally study and combine his faith and craft...

DeWayne holds a Bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance, a Master’s degree in Theological Studies, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Music Composition. Throughout his life, he has enjoyed putting his skills to work as a musician, songwriter, composer, arranger, sound designer, creative consultant, and producer, engaging a wide range of environments and genres.

Fearless in his drive and discipline, DeWayne approaches each project with detailed sensitivity and each collaboration with a servant leadership mindset. Whether helping to create a moment through a live event, crafting the sound of story through film, or assisting a fellow creative through consultation, the endgame is excellence. Always excellence.

At the heart of his workflow, communication is an absolute prerequisite from the initial meeting through deliverables and the final render.
