Our Story So Far

From a humble beginning as a “School of Rock” high school project in 2010, Daniel Cheeks and Adam Brzycki have always put heart and soul into their craft, one bred and grown in the Pacific Northwest.

Their experiences poured into lyrics and melodies, which culminated in a growing catalog of original music.

After releasing an independent EP in 2011; their songs were quickly featured on Portland's 101.9 KINK.FM's Local Artist Spotlight, The University of Oregon's student radio, and KMUN- Oregon's Coast Radio.

 During the summer of 2011, while tending an organic farm on the island of O'ahu, Hawaii, they were inspired to take to the streets of Hale'iwa and Honolulu. They thrived living in tents and hitch-hiking around paradise with a song and a dream. In their travels, they also garnered the attention of Johnny Valentine, a prominent recording artist on the Hawaiian island of O’ahu and Uncle to Bruno Mars, with whose expertise they were fortunate to learn the ins and outs of writing and studio recording with their first demo of "Kiss of Life."

An unending desire to pursue this dream of sharing their music, their stories, and their lives with the world has lead to the production of "Beyond the Blackberry," an independent LP consisting of 13 original tracks and an evolving story of life's progress in musical form. 

They now continue creating in the Portland Area with a talented group of friends and musicians.

In 2019, after having performed alongside Daniel in a Clackamas Community College Audio Engineering Program, Bassist Carson Krause joined forces with fellow musicians Kyle Christofanelli on Keyboard, and Tyrus Friedstrom on Drums. The trio joined The Just Reverie, bringing with them an immense wealth of creative contributions.

These three newest skilled performers may also be found on local stages as Dipthong, a force in Funk and RnB  who are already dropping jaws wherever they're heard.

We are so excited to share our projects with you soon!
