Gleaton said his post-grad- uation goals are different and knows that he will have to join the workforce soon with an unstable economy. “When you graduate, it’s a scary time,” said Hank Lazar, associate provost for academ- ic affairs and executive direc- tor of the Creative Campus Initiative. “That successful career may not immediate, so you have to have a certain level of fortitude … jumping out and making a leap.” Lazer said Gleaton has played in several fine arts classes and at Capstone Convocations in part with Creative Campus. He said Gleaton has the keys to suc- ceed. “D-Sharp is an amazing tal- ent,” Lazar said. “He’s doing all of the right things.” Rather than playing in a world-renowned orchestra or becoming a music teacher, he wants to get signed by a record label that appreciates his unique sound. Eventually he hopes to create his own record label to sign other innovative musicians like himself. With all the things he does to promote his music, Gleaton said he doesn’t get tired of putting himself out there, hoping that anyone with an open ear will listen.
