Trey Daniels, musician, artist and producer, is our latest guest in our web-series “The Dominant Ones”. In our eighth episode, Dominique and Trey Daniels chat about what it’s like to discover your passion, the hard work that goes behind perfecting your craft and the importance of patience and perseverance when faced with challenges.
Trey Daniels thinks back about the first time he picked up a saxophone and, ironically, he remembers not liking it. Through patience and perseverance, however, Trey grew accustomed to the instrument and quickly fell in love with the saxophone after that.
