One of his earliest memories is of watching his singer-songwriter and guitar playing father rehearse with his band in their country backyard. This led the 4 year old to take up his instrument of choice a year later, training classically through his teenage years. He started to write his own songs at 12, performing at local events and festivals. At 18, Daniel left school, turned professional and hit the road. Having cut his teeth on the Australian and international music scene with 2 independent EPs, ‘My Own Design (2009) and ‘Wide Eyed and Open’ (2010), full length album ‘Pint of Mystery’ (2011) and many hundreds of live shows, the hard work and constant performing has paid off, with Daniel reaching a level of musicianship far beyond his young age. His phenomenal guitar abilities often make him sound more like a three-piece band than a solo performer, pushing the instrument to beyond its boundaries, and Daniel’s now signature explosion of 2-hand tapping, body percussion and fiery runs in a variety of different tunings, alongside sublime jazzy finger picking and tasteful improvisation have become hallmarks of his impressive live shows. Reaching into Folk, Blues, Classical, Jazz and other stylings, Daniel delivers crowd-pleasing sets that include powerful foot-stomping numbers, experimental compositions, bags of originals through to century-old Folk and Blues Songs. Having shared stages with some of the finest acts here and internationally has seen Daniel gain a deserved reputation for dropping jaws, breaking guitars and making audiences buzz wherever he goes. This last year has seen Daniel performing hundreds of shows internationally in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, New Zealand and here in Australia. Daniel is now heading out on the road again, touring nationally from April to June to support his latest release ‘Real Live’. This new release captures the energy and spirited atmosphere of Daniel's ‘show-stopping’ live performance, honed over more than four years on the road. ‘Real Live’ contains a collection of new songs, new versions of old songs and a couple of covers Daniel has been carrying around since first setting out on tour at age 18.
