His music and his story will continue to bless your heart and those of your listeners.
Daniel Wheeler's family has played music his whole life. The Wheeler family jam sessions were a common event anywhere they were all together. Daniel says everyone wanted to be included, so they all learned how to play country style and joined right in at family gatherings and church. They played their favorite country songs and their favorite Gospel songs. Daniel learned to play piano, harmonica, bass, lead and acoustic guitars, because his desire to be a part of those family jam sessions was so strong.
Daniel found out about God's grace and mercy, he says, at age 30, and really got serious about his relationship with Jesus. He wrote his first song in 2016 just after that. People at church liked his songs, so Daniel thought someone might like them on Facebook and started posting them about a year ago. His followers have now grown to 25K and continuing to grow! He plays and sings his originals and other songs he grew up playing. People are loving his raw, heartfelt music, evident in his rapidly growing following!
Daniel's pastor was preaching recently when Daniel felt led to go to the altar to pray for some direction in his life. His pastor said, "Daniel, God is going to open a door for you that you never thought would be possible." Daniel says three weeks later, without any prior contact, Nashville Christian Country producer, Rick Schweinsberg called him after seeing some of his videos on social media.
