Today we’d like to introduce you to Deanna L. Giron.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, how did you get started?
As a child, I was fortunate to be introduced to the world of music at a young age, thanks to my parents. While my mother played the piano and organ, my father was also skilled in playing the organ. Though I now regret not learning the organ, I found my passion in the piano and singing. My journey with music continued as I attended performing arts schools, where I had the opportunity to explore various instruments and music styles, shaping my musical understanding.
After high school, I pursued my passion for music at the University of Central Florida, where I focused on Music Education with a specialization in Choral studies. While there, I actively participated in the Collegiate Music Educators National Conference and Sigma Alpha Iota, a professional fraternity for women, further enriching my experience. Following graduation, I embarked on a career as a professional music educator, teaching students from preschool to those pursuing higher education in music. Simultaneously, I ventured into creating my music studio, providing private piano and voice lessons. My dedication to education extended into the public school system in Central Florida, where I taught for several years before the birth of my first child, which changed my life. I was blessed to land my dream job as a choral director at a magnet school for the performing arts. The experience was amazing, with an incredible administration, supportive staff, wonderful colleagues, parents, children, and a fantastic facility.
However, after becoming a mother, I realized that balancing my role as a mother and a choir director would be challenging. I made the difficult but heartfelt decision to prioritize my family and stay home with my child. Since then, life has taken me on an inspiring entrepreneurship journey. Today, I am the proud owner of DLG Creative Solutions LLC, a venture offering various services, including entertainment, graphic design, video editing, and consulting. Additionally, I am a Florida notary, providing notary solutions to clients. My brand encompasses music performance, consulting education and encouragement. Overall, my journey has taken a lot of twists and turns, but I would not change my experiences for anything. I am blessed to be the mother of three wonderful boys and remain happily married to my high school sweetheart. Through all my endeavors, I embrace new opportunities to learn and serve others with passion and dedication.
We all face challenges, but would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
My journey as a musician, singer, and entrepreneur has had its fair share of obstacles and challenges. One significant challenge I faced was the constant doubt in myself and my abilities. Being in the spotlight as a performer and running a business can be daunting, and there were times when I questioned if I had what it takes to succeed.
As a wife and mother, balancing my personal and professional life was another major hurdle. It often felt like I was being pulled in different directions, trying to give my best to my family and career. Finding the right balance required tremendous effort and adaptation. Being an entrepreneur in the music industry comes with its own set of difficulties. The journey was not smooth, and I encountered various obstacles. The learning curve was steep, and there were instances when I felt unprepared for the challenges that came my way. Looking back, I now realize how much I didn’t know when I first started, but that’s all part of the growth process. Despite the hardships, I am grateful for the lessons learned and the experiences that shaped me into who I am today.
Throughout this journey, my faith in God is one constant source of strength and support. His guidance and faithfulness have been instrumental in overcoming difficulties and staying focused on my path. While there were indeed tough times, I wouldn’t change a thing. Each obstacle I faced has contributed to my growth and has led me to where I am now. The challenges have given me the strength and resilience to keep pushing forward, and they have reinforced my passion for music and serving others. Looking back, every hardship was worth it. I am proud of the person I’ve become, both as an artist, wife, and mother. With God’s guidance, I am excited to embrace future challenges and continue this exciting journey in music and entrepreneurship.
Let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As a musician, singer, and pianist, I specialize in providing music entertainment and sound healing services for weddings, private events, and corporate gatherings. With extensive experience and expertise, I have mastered blending various musical styles, including Jazz, Broadway, Pop, Classical Music, and Opera, making me a versatile performer suitable for any occasion.
My commitment to professionalism, versatility, and elegance sets me apart from others in my field. I take pride in delivering exceptional performances that exceed my client’s expectations, leaving a lasting impression on their guests. I am most proud of my ability to work closely with couples, wedding and event planners, and corporate event organizers to create a personalized music experience that perfectly aligns with their style and vision. This collaborative approach ensures that the music enhances the overall atmosphere and theme of the event, making it truly memorable.
In addition to music entertainment, I offer sound healing sessions using Tibetan singing bowls and meditation. This unique service sets me apart as it allows me to provide a relaxing and rejuvenating atmosphere, helping clients de-stress and unwind during or after their big day. My music consultation service is another aspect that distinguishes me from others. I understand that choosing the right music is crucial for any event, and during consultations, I take the time to understand clients’ musical preferences and overall event style. Based on my experience, I provide a range of music options and samples, making recommendations to ensure a memorable and enjoyable occasion. I also have a special checklist to help my clients discover music that could fit perfectly into their special event by guiding them through a few key emotional questions. Ultimately, I firmly believe in the power of music to elevate any event, and my passion and dedication drive me to deliver unforgettable performances for weddings, corporate events, and private gatherings. I am excited to help my clients create beautiful and memorable occasions that will be cherished and discussed for years.
What do you think about happiness?
What makes me truly happy is the opportunity to share my musical gifts and serve others through my performances. An indescribable joy comes from seeing the smiles on people’s faces and knowing that my music has touched their hearts and added something special to their cherished moments. Collaborating with other talented professionals and creating that unique musical bond during performances is another way that fills my cup. The comradery that forms when working with other musicians is a magical experience for us and the audience. Beyond my music, my family and friends make me happy. I am the mom of three wonderful boys and could not be more proud of who they are and who they are becoming. I put my career on hold for them, which was worth it. If I am ever having a bad day, just thinking of them will lift my spirits. I also have to give a shout-out to my neighborhood “framily!” We love doing life together, and our close neighborhood family is always a source of joy for me. The adults and kids get along so well, and no matter what happens in our worlds, we know we have each other’s back.
