DAYSUN is a composer who hails from a long line of creative folks…

Born in Canada with Jamaican, Kittitian and Grenadian roots, his signature style intertwines soul, funk, rock, hip hop, electronic and orchestral influences into a cohesive soundscape. DAYSUN maximizes recording “live” sounds and leverages his harmonic sensibilities across instruments like, piano, bass, cello, trumpet, drums and more to customize his musical approach for each project. With a state-of-the-art studio equipped with Universal Audio preamps, Empirical Labs compressors, Coles ribbon mics and Ableton Live, DAYSUN thrives when blending live instrumentation and digital technology to produce humanistic music that connects on a deeper level.

DAYSUN recently scored the 33-episode series Wordsville for TVO/PBS, where he composed energetic horn sections and delivered a score that combined funky R&B bounces with mysterious tones and textures. Additionally DAYSUN was asked to score the documentary Hard to Kill, directed by Mansel James and Produced by Sari Friedland (Blindness, Enemy). Hard to Kill is about a brain cancer survivor and vintage motorcycle racer. The film won the “Best Documentary Feature” award at the Toronto Independent Film Festival. DAYSUN’s score incorporated propulsive rock tracks paired with ambient passages that perfectly linked the Hi-octane race footage with the subdued atmosphere of the cancer treatment process.

DAYSUN is a longtime studio owner and former bandleader. As a producer he has worked with Noah “40” Shebib (Drake) and produced many other artist’s projects.
