How Music Can be a Compass in Prison: Daniel’s Path to Purpose After Incarceration
“Music was always something that I was searching for while I was incarcerated… something that I knew would help me stay stabilized, pick me up when I was down, keep me consistent when I needed to be consistent.”
In this story, Daniel shares how Give a Beat’s Prison Electronic Music Program reconnected him with a passion that became both a source of healing during incarceration and a compass for reentry.
He opens up about the emotional toll of incarceration, the creative suppression people experience inside, and why programs like this are vital:
“Any program that allows them to tap into that energy is a boost to the community.”
Now on the outside, DJ d mast continues to produce and DJ—staying grounded, driven, and inspired by what music helped him unlock.
