By Jeremy Hallock. To hear Daniel Jones tell it, the music industry is a small world. Hard work and networking with a small group of people is all you need to rise through the ranks. After co-producing tracks with Timbaland and sharing stages with names like Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake, Jones makes a pretty good case for himself. But now he's eyeing a collaboration with musicians he grew up with in Oak Cliff for an upcoming solo project.
Jones, a keyboardist and producer from Dallas, has been touring since he was a teenager, before he even graduated from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He was recruited by Dallas gospel group God’s Property in the late 1990s. The group performed on television shows, had a hit song called “Stomp” and a double platinum album. He would go to school during the week and leave town Friday, returning Sunday, sometimes even Monday, before heading back to class.
