Darryl Alexander Sr.
Entertainment, Lifetime, Saturday Night Live (NBC), Good Morning America (ABC), and NBA Inside Stuff (NBC) are all recent television soundtrack credits that jazz artist/producer/composer Darryl Alexander Sr., has recently added to his musical credits. Warner Chappell, the publishing division of Warner Brothers, administers Darryl’s musical catalog internationally through an agremment with DSM Producers.
Years ago, Darryl had sent a CD of 10 songs to DSM Producers of New York. Dayton, OH native CEO Suzan Bader. Her company is administered Worldwide by Warner Chappell. Darryl had not heard from DSM for a while, and was unaware that DSM had just moved to a new suite to a larger office complex in New York. A box of CD’s had been left by the moving company. The new tenant saw them and carried them to DSM’s new suite. Ironically, Darryl’s CD was at the top of the stack and Ms. Bader promptly gave it a listen. Within a matter of 2 days, she contacted Darryl and an offer was made to publish these original 10 songs, with Warner publishing them internationally.
“This one small thing has probably been the greatest asset in my musical career,” says Darryl, and is a door that without God’s intervention would not be open.
Darryl's CD releases have all been well rceived by the listening public, and include "Diamond In The Sky," "Tea For Two," and "17th Street."
Darryl’s other life passion is reflected in his work with inner city at risk youth, as well as serving as a federal grant reviewer for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
