DANNY FLOYD COLE
Dream Your Destiny
These past two years have been an incredible time for Danny and there is more to come!
Launching the album, music videos, touring through BC on multiple trips, performing on the road in Alberta & Saskatchewan AND a nomination for a Western Canadian Music Award. Watch for his upcoming dates (below) as he just may be coming to your town in the near future.
Sharing an intimate portrait of personal experience and emotions with his songs and stories, Danny always brings a heartfelt performance to every stage he visits. With over two decades of performing live original music in Alberta, and abroad, he is no stranger to sharing about life experience through song.
Today, along with a production company, he operates an intimate home recording studio, and has been expanding his understanding of sound healing and music therapy, working primarily with adults with special needs and those in recovery from addiction.
An Album of Songs - A Story of Hope
Dream Your Destiny, is an offering of 13 heart based songs that are woven together with acoustic guitars and feature accompaniment from some of Canada’s top musicians including
Shaun Verreault, Chad Melchert, Travis Switzer, Matthew Atkins, Dustin Roy, Dan Shinnan,
Aron Gillman, Kyle Wilson and Sheldon Bekolay.
The recording is a chronological walk through the life of a young man who finds music and love, creates a family and loses it all to addiction. In that process he finds a new way to live as a grown man, connected to Spirit. He is gifted many blessings, returning to his true self, honouring his purpose and his loved ones, one day at a time in recovery.
This is a story of hope.
"My wish is that this message will translate for others struggling with the disease of addiction,
that they may also find a life of connection.
It is possible if we learn to follow our heart and dare to dream."
Danny Floyd Cole

ROOTS
Danny’s career as a recording artist initiated at a young age; his first full-length album was released in 1996 with pop punk trio, floyd. In ’98 after graduating from Radio & Television Arts at NAIT, he began working professionally as an audio engineer/music producer at the award winning studio, Homestead Recorders, under the legendary Barry Allen. A few years later, Danny fronted the band Coldspot; they released a full-length disc and followed it up with an AFA funded second release, Like There Was No Tomorrow, in 2005. Danny also contributed bass guitar and vocals on two full-length recordings in the band, Drive the Day. The project Calan & Cole never officially released any recordings but Jamie and Danny still write and perform together and have plans to make some of their original material available to the world under the band name, Redemption.
