Daniel - Acoustic, Electric & Bass Guitar, Voice
Born and raised in Sylvania, OH, Daniel started humming along with Disney songs at the age of 3. It was then that his parents knew he would have a love of music. At a young age, he joined the choir at his church and began his musical journey. Daniel got his first guitar in the 5th grade and has always had an eclectic background in his song selection. Throughout his youth, he took private lessons and performed in many shows and showcases around the Toledo and Sylvania area. At the age of 14, he saved up from summer jobs to buy his first recording software, and a love of audio engineering was born.
Daniel graduated from Northview High school in 2006. While in high school, he was a member of several choirs and ensembles including a jazz ensemble and an award-winning barbershop quartet. He was given several awards in his time at Northview and was the section leader of several choirs.

While in Boston he played in several bands and was a member of a Berklee Acapella group.
