D-SOUL DAVIS

Hailing from Waco, Texas, Demetrius Davis started his musical career at 8 years old when he took to the stage singing in a school play. He knew at that very moment, that music was his passion. This part-time fitness coach and full time musician gained his phenomenal showmanship and, most importantly, vocal training from touring the U.S. singing gospel music with his talented family and time spent in valuable church vocal workshops.

Demetrius has been influenced by the timeless greats from the likes of James Brown and Frank Sinatra to Otis Redding and Michael Jackson. He was also influenced by his talented and beloved father, brother, and grandmother. He has a vast quantity of experience as a vocalist with bands: MatchMaker, Taboo, All U Need, Hotsauce, and his own project, D-Soul Davis Ft. Art Of Soul.

Some of his most well-known musical accomplishments include.. April 6th being recognized in Austin Tx, as “D-Soul Davis Day”. Being an American Idol Top 100 Finalist in 2003. A 2016 SXSW artist Headliner, and an opening act for the AUMF from which he opened up for Maze. He has thrived in the industry and has had the honor of singing alongside Jamie Foxx, Paul Wall, Steve Miller, Ray Benson, Raheem DeVaughn, Gary Jenkins of “Silk”, The Gatlin Brothers, Huey Lewis and The News, Tony Orlando, Alexander O’Neal, Dougie Fresh, Frankie Beverley, and the gospel legend V.

He is well-versed at wedding showmanship and is continuously honored to work with amazing couples on the best days of their lives. When he’s not performing, Demetrius works tirelessly towards his goals of operating his own business and becoming a motivational leader and speaker.

CLEAR SAGE LEAF

Clear Sage Leaf is a vocalist and guitarist who plays with a style that is powerfully smooth and soulful. His genre is a blend of blues, jazz, and singer-songwriter. When he plays, he is always striving to dig deeper… singing in a way where he is aiming towards his core… becoming vulnerable and nourishing a deeper awareness with himself so that when his voice radiates out into the world from that sacred space it may encourage the listener to become more vulnerable and aware of something deep within themselves as well.

YANIK SILVER

Yanik Silver has been called a Cosmic Catalyst, a Maverick Mischief-maker and a Galactic Goofball. He redefines how business is played in the 21st century at the intersection of evolutionary growth, impact and fun. Yanik is the creator of the Cosmic Journal, author of Evolved Enterprise and the founder of Maverick1000, a global collective of visionary entrepreneurs making a serious difference in the world, without taking themselves too seriously. In fact, it’s not unusual to find him dressed as a lemur, a showgirl or even in matching mermaid tails with Sir Richard Branson.

Yanik believes we all have our own “Cosmic Alarm Clock” that goes off at exactly the right time to fulfill our destiny of greatness. It starts as a whisper, a small voice that gets louder and louder until you either answer it or hit snooze. He has spent his life exploring that connection of head, heart and highest purpose…. with his colored pens in hand. It might have all started when he snuck out at the age of 5 to buy markers—only to catch the wrong bus home and end up at the police station. (Undaunted, his love of doodling and exploring still continue to this day!)

"There’s no mistake that “dog” is “God” spelled backwards.
Have you ever stopped, slowed down, and thought about what is so magical about dogs?
Why is it so easy to love them?
Why is the beginning of every day as if it were Christmas morning to a dog?
Possibly the greatest teachers in life are dogs. I know that has been true for me. Dogs show us how to love. As you read the many heartfelt stories in this book, you will hear the depth at how dogs have given themselves to their humans even when the humans didn’t do the same. A dog’s heart knows no limits and they don’t pull their love away. It is always there and is as reliable as their loyalty. I challenge you to love yourself and those that mean the most to you the same way your dog loves you. You will discover deep and intimate encounters that the authors have had by sharing their fears, insecurities, and most vulnerable moments with their dogs. There is something magical in how a dog shows up for us when we need it most."
—Ryan Matthews “K-9 Mentalist”

"May all our lives always be filled with wonderful dogs. May we continue to heal them and they us, and have the most positive, symbiotic relationship beyond our wildest dreams. Woof."
—Debbi Dachinger, Compiler of this book
