Daniel developed a distinctive sound for his live shows through his use of the electric violin, as well as looping, a technique which is increasingly highlighted by notable artists like Ed Sheeran.  The (non-electric) violin was Daniel’s first instrument, as he started lessons when he was five years old. He then transitioned to learning the acoustic guitar when his parents started noticing him strumming his violin with both hands, and it became a major instrument of his in high school.

Daniel’s accolades include being picked as one of the top 100 acts in Season 7 of America’s Got Talent, and his “Sidewalk Guitar” EP is the current hold music for the online shoe and clothing company Zappos.
