Concept[]
Daryl Jones was born on the fourth of July. He has always been patriotic and has great love for his country. He developed a love for music and began learning guitar at a young age. He left home rather young, at only 18, to pursue a career in music in the heart of Dallas, Texas. He lived very modestly, all things considered, only really desiring the basics and being very frugal about spending money. Daryl's drive led him to producing songs and would see his career take off seemingly overnight. Daryl, although a very successful country music star, faces controversy for being gay in an industry and listener base that is intolerant. Daryl unabashedly wears his pride on his sleeve, and has been known to completely walk away from recording companies and deals that won't support his marginalized colleagues. When he isn't doing his main music work, he enjoys monster truck racing. Daryl has connections that allow him to keep a bald eagle as a pet, as ownership of a bald eagle is normally a felony in the United States. The eagle's full name is Uncle Freedom Sam. Daryl currently resides in Dallas, Texas in a humble home with Uncle Freedom Sam.
