Hello again Steemit! Official Introduction Post

[danieldyemusic]

Hello Steemit!

My name is Daniel Dye, (@danieldyemusic) and I’m a songwriter who grew up on an Ohio farm. Back in the eighties I traveled around the midwestern United States as the youngest member of the “Dye Family Singers” so I’ve been singing for as long as I remember.

When I was in college my mom gave me an old guitar she had picked up for a few dollars at a garage sale, and I learned my first three chords while riding on the back of my parents’ van on a six-hour road trip, and then songs started coming, little by little.

At that point life consisted of working construction, saving money for traveling, and playing music. While hanging out in Berlin, Germany, I fell in love with a Puerto-Rican/German woman, (a great mix.) We got married, moved to China where we taught English, then to Europe while I studied at a university in Poland. We then moved back to the USA, where I’ve been playing music with the talented and classically-trained Miller Road Band, who also happen to be my nephews and nieces.

In 2011 I co-founded the Madden Road Music Fest with my Sister Sarah, who I also sing with, and this festival now takes place on my family farm every August. In 2016 a fellow known here as @cryptoctopus came to the festival and told me about this mysterious thing called Steemit. He suggested that it would be a good platform for my music, and unfortunately, at the time I ignored his suggestion, but I finally joined in December 2017, and I’m glad I did.

I’ve been writing, recording, and performing music for years, but these days it’s really hard to make a decent living in music alone, so Steemit has come along at the right time, and I’m really happy to be here, and have already felt very welcome!

Thank you so much for your support so far!

Glad you found steemit, too. I also joined, because i didn’t want to teach English forever. I wanted to get paid for doing what I love, and I feel steemit can really provide that. What a time we’re living in! I’m a painter, and I find this platform convenient for sharing art with art lovers!

[danieldyemusic]

These are crazy times! Lots of opportunities...all the best on your art!

@danieldyemusic Welcome to Steemit! I spent a year in Akron, Ohio, at Firestone Highschool, as an exchange student 10 years ago. So good to see someone from the lovely state. I guess Ohio is great at producing great musicians... (some of my friends' brothers were friends with The Black Keys... ). You are really great at telling your story as well; i am looking forward to your stories! Also, there is this thing called https://dsound.audio/ where musicians can upload music and earn directly! Cheers!

[danieldyemusic]

Thank you for the dsound tip fellow Ohioan! I love The Black Keys...very cool connection.

Rewards Pool Farmer Alert

check out the comments section of @ryacha21 above. (https://steemit.com/@ryacha21/comments)

He is leasing 30k SP from @minnowbooster then using that to VOTE Up his own 7 Day old comments on random posts at the last minute. Scroll his comments to around the 6 day mark or just go to https://steemd.com/@ryacha21; he has a lot of self love on his own old comments.

HE IS DOING IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER.. He is farming the pool.. If you could help it would be appreciated..

Learn more about this sack of monkey spunk here:

https://steemit.com/shitpost/@pawsdog/the-shit-post-diaries-1-17-18-4

Also kinda a dick move to use the actual good post of another person to post a comment for no other reason to come back and farm it later.

Post Author, @danieldyemusic I do apologize.. This dude makes no actual articles of his own so the only way to draw attention to what he is doing is to comment his comments. My sincerest apologies for cluttering up your blog, outing the abusive self voting behavior of @ryacha21

[gekamazon]
