The sound of rhythmic and measured inhales and exhales fills the room. The instructor calls out cues for breathing and moving.<\/p>\n<p>A young man in the corner responds with ease and graceful movements. His audible breathing sets the pace for everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Meet Da\u2019Marcus. The 24-year-old yogi who has been practicing yoga since elementary school with the help of PBS. The yoga class he attends now is at Daybreak.<\/p>\n<p>Homeless since age 10 and evicted 13 times, Da\u2019Marcus arrived at Daybreak two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, we talked with Da\u2019Marcus to learn more about his story.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Daybreak: Tell us what brought you to Daybreak?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Da\u2019Marcus: <\/strong>I was angry and on a bad path. I was in a violent situation and getting into real trouble. I needed help.<\/p>\n<p>I was at a men\u2019s shelter trying to figure things out when a Daybreak staff member found me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s happened since then?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I tried to convince other people to come with me to Daybreak, but they didn\u2019t have the fire to change.<\/p>\n<p>After some time, I started learning how to use music to help me express myself. Daybreak has a program called Coffee House. It\u2019s a room in Daybreak\u2019s basement that has been converted into a recording studio.<\/p>\n<p>A couple of times a month, we come together to share what we\u2019ve created. Things like writing, songs, storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>I started writing music. Mr. Robert and Mr. Josh worked with me individually to help me write sounds and lyrics about my experiences that I eventually linked together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has writing music helped you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It helped me express the deepest side of myself and connect with people. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here in this life\u2014to connect.<\/p>\n<p>I decided on the name Azaelous for my recording name. It\u2019s Hebrew and means Made of God. We have to have faith and purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your thoughts about the future?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have a full-time job managing the grounds of the apartment complex where I live. I\u2019ve been working a lot to help my mom move to a new neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m launching a clothing company called Apex Legion. I make art from Sci-Fi video games and print them on t-shirts and other clothing. The business plan is done, and I\u2019m waiting on the vendor license.<\/p>\n<p>Long-term, I think I want to go into real estate development. On a trip to Hocking Hills with OZ Works staff, I noticed land being developed and it interested me. I liked traveling outside of Dayton because it broadened my perspective about what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve also made two albums. They stream on YouTube and other channels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How can we listen to your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tune into YouTube and search for Azaelous or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nXAz5MIeCQg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">go directly toDa&#8217;Marcus&#8217; YouTube channel here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would you like to say to other youth who may be in crisis? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Daybreak is a place where people help build you. They give you one more chance. The struggle is there, but it does work. You will see results.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t rush the process of change and remember it\u2019s all about how you want to see your life. Suffering builds character.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:5px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:-10px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-single sep-solid\" style=\"border-color:#ffffff;border-top-width:2px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sharing-box fusion-sharing-box-1 boxed-icons\" style=\"background-color:rgba(250,249,248,0);padding:0;margin-top:60px;\" data-title=\"Finding his voice and making sense of suffering\" data-description=\"How one Daybreak youth uses music composition to realize a higher purpose\r\n \r\n\r\nThe noonday sun streams in through a corner window.
