Daniel delivers the essential elements of hit Americana and country sounds by infusing his lyrics to evoke strong emotions and vivid imagery of the "Americana dream". His musical influences stem from artist such as Jason Isbell, John Mayer, Tom Petty, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Mumford and Sons. Daniel’s songwriting career took off when he was mentored under the same songwriting instructor as Katy Perry.
Music deeply resonates with Daniel while he is writing, composing and performing. The magical quality that music has and his passion for his art is displayed within his songs. For him, music is not only a way to create enjoyment, but a way to give back to others as well through his involvement with charitable organizations. His song “The Answer” was written to assist the Duke Cancer Institute raise awareness of the impacts of breast cancer and raise funds for breast cancer research. His song “Get There Together” was utilized on local news to commemorate and remember the impact to the SW Oregon community from the Alameda fires.
