ACL 2024: Deyaz

 Sunday at 1:40pm on the BMI stage.  According to this bio:

21-year-old multidisciplinary artist Deyaz is, in his own words, a “non-confined musician”. Raised in East Ham, London, and of Jamaican/Syrian heritage, his innate connection to music helped him find solace during his turbulent teenage years...Deyaz earned a coveted scholarship to London’s Guildhall music school, a place he would eventually give up in pursuit of a more organic connection to music-making. By 16, through a combination of conservatoire education and self-teaching, Deyaz had developed a broad technical knowledge of jazz and classical music, and proficiency in piano, bass and drums. 

His cover of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes' "Home" went viral on the socials.

"Dylan" is nice. I wonder if he'll have a band or just play acoustic. 

Here's an original. Pretty mellow.
