Eric Daniels

Grammy nominated music producer Eric has been gifted with the ability to create an art form that can capture the attention of the masses. With songs and movie soundtracks from  Only a Women, Movement .Ghost. I'll call your name. Take me away, Like my coffee(Ledisi) and Memory Lane just to name a few.

Sometimes we underestimate the influence we have on each other as educators, friends mentors and parents.  Eric's dad directed and produce Gospel music. At the age of 4 Eric played the drums in the church choir which eventually propelled his drive to create.  Yes with my nephew it was inherent for him to step into his own greatness. I just Love it!

Both Eric and Quincy understand the need to give a part of their self to serve our communities. Greatest way to say thank you God!

As a random act of kindness make a commitment to Giving  time as a mentor or money to a charitable organization that will help develop the lives of our youth.  Be a Blessing and Give a Blessing of time or money!
