"DAY AFTER DAY"
In 2011, Paul Guzman-Sanchez had a wish that only a parent of an autistic child could have—to show the challenges that his son goes through. A Los Angeles-area musician and video producer, Paul wanted to show the world that an autistic child can fully embrace the world and share in the experiences of everyday life. The video features autistic 13 year-old Leo Tre' Guzman-Sanchez, with a special cameo appearance by his sister Brianna Guzman-Sanchez and brother Brandon Guzman-Sanchez.
Paul Guzman-Sanchez is a modern renaissance man—a third generation guitarist on his dad's side, as well as a bassist, keyboardist, percussionist, singer and songwriter. A professional recording artist himself, Paul always wanted to share the joy of music and music-making with his son. When Leo was diagnosed with autism, the thought of him ever being able to jam with his dad seemed like a remote and nearly impossible dream. But one day Leo started to sing songs he heard on the TV with perfect pitch and timing. Weeks later, Paul wrote a song about Leo, teaching his son the chorus. Leo nailed it perfectly with almost impeccable timing and phrasing. The experience marked a breakthrough, the first time ever that father and son really communicated on a deeper learning level. With tears in Paul’s eyes, father and son sang the chorus together over and over. Today, Paul says Day After Day is special in more ways than one. The tune will always have a special place in this father’s life as it marks a turning point not only for Leo, but for a father and son as well. Family Support for the projectAccording to singer, songwriter and video director Paul Guzman-Sanchez, the biggest support for the Day After Day project has come from his family, without whose love and patience none of this could have happened. Through good times and bad times, the love, dedication, and commitment has and will always be there.
