Prior to embracing the magic of music, Dusty was at a low point in his life; he was living on the streets, depressed and struggling with addiction. What kept him anchored was his saxophone, \"It made other people happy... That was the thing that turned my life around.\"

With saxophone in hand and music in his heart, Dusty started to spread love, happiness, and smiles. \"I was using the universal language of music and connecting with people everywhere....playing on the street and giving to people provides me with a lot of love.\" Watch this video to feel the pure magic of Dusty's music, it's guaranteed to satisfy the soul to all that listen! - Hooplaha\n
