D-FYANT is that new sound that everyone is craving for in these uncertain times. The Houston based band is a fresh new blend of rock and reggae, topped with catchy smooth vocals. They released their self titled cd in February of 2007. Within those 15 tracks was the gambit of what D-fyant is. From the beginning with “Fya Fya” and “Don’t You Understand”, the band establishes, quickly and convincingly, that no one genre can define the band. “No Wrongs” and “Gotta Know Your Name” showcase the motown influences of Colin, the lead singer. “Lost”, “Miserable”, and “Move On” show the influences of Kelly and Wayne, the guitarists. While “Flat Puppet” lets Nez, the keyboardist and Blakely, the drummer, cut loose on wild ideas. Injecting D-fyant with new passion is the recent addition of Taylor to our family. He is the utility man: back-up singer, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, or percussionist as needed. He is joining the band as D-fyant suddenly lost a great man and friend, Earl Grey, in the winter of 2007. He was the bass player and co-manager of the band. His influence and energy has been greatly missed, though his spirit lives on with the members of D-fyant. D-fyant is quickly becoming known for their electrifying live shows. In Houston, the band has played Scout Bar, Fitzgerald’s, the Meridian, the Engine Room, Rudyard’s, the Cellar Bar, Jet Lounge and Javajazz. They have also performed at the Pasadena Live Stock Show & Rodeo, at a Houston Texans tailgating event by the GridIron Gillers, and at Relay for Life, an American Cancer Society fundraiser event that the band has performed at the last 2 years. Outside of Houston, the band has performed twice in Laredo, Tx, at GW’s Roadhouse and Average Joe’s, and in St. Louis, MO at SixFlags. D-fyant can currently be heard on the radio in Laredo and out of Corpus Christi.
