His story
Dlaney is learning music in public. He started from zero on piano and gave himself a 99-day challenge: practice every single day, post the proof, mistakes and all. No highlight reel. You get the wrong notes, the slow metronome work, and the small wins as they happen.
He is writing 50 songs. He has written 40 already, and you can listen to them all. The songs are sketches of a kinder world, written by someone who is learning as he goes and not pretending otherwise.
He also writes books. The Short Bus kids book is his, and the songs and the stories all come from the same place: a belief that really good kind people can make things that matter.
