Orem resident, Broadway actor and experienced soloist, Dallyn Vail Bayles has released his debut album, "Prayer," and will be performing the music in concert on Tuesday.

A native of Green River, Bayles has performed in numerous productions, including the touring company of "Les Miserables," The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints's feature-length film "Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration," and pageant "Nauvoo."

Bayles describes his style as a classical voice performed with some pop flair and musical theater sounds.

"Something that really distinguishes my music is because of my acting background," Bayles said. "I try to put a lot of passion into the song."

Bayles hopes that passion will come across in his concert, as well as on the CD, because the subject matter of his tracks is of a spiritual and inspiring nature.

The 10-track CD has eight songs that are written as prayers addressed to God, and the other two are sung about answers to prayers.

"Some of the most beautiful and powerful songs ever written come from that perspective of addressing God and pleading with him," Bayles said. "Those are some of the most intimate times of our life."

Because of his acting background, Bayles has chosen to present his concert in a theatrical way.

"I'm not one to just do the stand and sing," Bayles said. "Every one of these songs represent a personal and intimate moment in someone's life, and we're going to represent each of them almost as a scene and have it performed on stage."

Two of the songs, "Bring Him Home," from "Les Miserables," and "I Have Seen Him," are ones that Bayles has performed often, though he said he feels a connection with each of the songs on the CD.

"I feel I have a personal connection with every one of the songs because every one of the songs relates to something I've had in my own personal life experience," Bayles said.

Producer Tyler Castleton also wrote one of the tracks on the CD -- "Breath in Me" -- specifically for Bayles to perform.

"Dallyn wanted a song that talked about finding your way when things were tough and going to the Lord in prayer," Castleton said. "He gave me several thoughts and ideas and I put it into a final song."

Though one track on the CD talks specifically about LDS prophet Joseph Smith, Castleton said his CD is not geared specifically for an LDS audience.

"I think it will appeal to people of all faiths, in that it is an appealing and positive album," Castleton said.
