Born and raised in Detroit Michigan, Daryl Beebe is a phenomenal and innovative saxophonist, producer, songwriter, composer, preacher, teacher, motivational speaker, counselor and Central Office Administrator for Wayne Westland Community School District in Wayne, MI. Daryl received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Kentucky State University where he majored in criminal justice and minored in music. He was a member of the university jazz, concert, and marching bands. During his undergraduate studies, Beebe began to focus on songwriting, production, improvisation, and poetry. Later, he received his Master of Arts and Master of Education degrees from the University of Cincinnati. He has performed and recorded with artists such as Kurt Carr, Karen Clark, Teddy Harris, James Carter, Donnie McClurkin, Marvin Winans, Vicki Winans, Tim Bowman, Martha Reeves, Doc Powell and recently opened for Norman Brown.
This preacher and educator has many gifts and talents. In 2002, Beebe and his childhood friend, Harry Patton, released their debut album, “The Covenant Project,” by Partners in Christ. The group followed up with their 2010 CD entitled “Called.” In 2016, Beebe released his first solo project, “Sonny Side Up.” “Sonny Side Up” inspired listeners to look to the Son of Man and see the brighter side of life. Beebe was influenced greatly by his father Roy Beebe (Musician and composer), his mother Margie Beebe (who allowed him practice at all hours of the night as a teen) and his music teacher, Dr. Limuel Dokes, who not only taught music, but also helped build character, as well as musicianship. Beebe’s musical performances have been described as “electrifying,” “explosive,” "uplifting," and “awe-inspiring.” He is known for his rich melodious sound on tenor saxophone and his ability to wow audiences with screaming high notes on alto.
As a follow up to Sonny Side Up, Beebe released his latest CD, The Daryl Beebe Project - Seasons Change. Ecclesiastes 3 says, “To everything, there is a season and a time for every purpose under heaven.” The music will take you on a journey through the many sounds and seasons of life. In February 2020, Daryl released his latest Billboard top 10 single entitled Breathe. Shortly, he will follow up with singles “Road Trip” and “unMASKed” as Daryl prepares to release his sophomore album entitled “Better Together” in 2021.
