Join us as we explore the path to making every day your best day." Highlighted AOTW: Born and raised in Dallas, TX, and thoroughly immersed as a multi-sport athlete growing up, Jay Denton switched gears and moved to Los Angeles, CA for a degree in international relations at the University of Southern California. While in college Denton began both recording music, and developing a strong interest in global conflict resolution. Graduating with a degree and a commission offered to him from the US Marine Corps, Denton instead traveled to work in India and East Africa and searched for paths into conflict resolution in areas that fell between the cracks of military involvement.
Finding on his travels, however, that making music seemed to have a bigger impact in the developing world than his other skill sets, Denton returned to Los Angeles, and began teaching Krav Maga and defensive tactics while starting to pursue a career as a songwriter. This pursuit took him to Nashville for a few years and into the touring world, but landed him back in LA again to start his own studio, ENDURE Studios, in 2018. Seeking to pull together his very different passions, Denton’s studio takes a rather unique approach to music. While working as a songwriter/producer locally in LA, ENDURE Studios is looking to take trips every year to a different conflict zone or destabilized region of the world, to write and record with artists in those regions who have been affected by war, crisis, or persecution.

As the first pilot project, Jay flew to Beirut, Lebanon, multiple times in 2019 to record an album with refugee singers from Syria and Iraq. After writing and recording on the ground there, Denton returned to Los Angeles and paired the songs with US artists as well as himself, to create a global album, blending styles, voices, stories, and languages from both parts of the world.

Denton has just released the global album, For Home, under the moniker, ENDURE, and has a documentary by Peaceful Sea Productions coming out September 19th, about the process of making the album, and the stories of the refugee artists. Back at it, now, in Los Angeles, he continues to write and produce music at ENDURE Studios locally, and is planning the next global album trip in early 2021. INSTAGRAM: @jaydenton @endure_studios.
