Originally from London, Daniel started his musical journey in his 20s whilst living and working in Switzerland. Developing as a Jazz Pianist and Blues singer (separately), Daniel studied jazz at EJMA and toured as a singer with a number of Swiss bands who performed regularly at Blues, Jazz and Rock festivals in France, Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Alongside a passion for Jazz and Blues, Daniel’s operatic and musical theatre styles have seen him perform on a variety of stages across the UK and Europe where he has performed as Elvis (London, Geneva, Switzerland), Freddie Mercury (Frankfurt, Germany) and as a lead Italian tenor opera singer in a London production of “Lend me a Tenor”.
Daniel’s songwriting journey started when encountering Muriel Dubuis, head of Jazz vocals at EJMA Lausanne. Together they wrote an album of 12 songs which saw radio play in over 20 countries. As a consequence of lockdown, Daniel became inspired to finish and produce a decade’s worth of unfinished material, including songs in Spanish, German, French and his mother-tongue English.
