 With multiple credits from PBS, top recording labels and artists, to Cirque Du Soleil's artist databank and the Grammy Board, Daniel truly has made his own path in all things strings and piano. He has represented the internationally renowned Peabody Institute of Music on the Kennedy Center stage (Washington, DC), founded and directed orchestras in Atlanta, GA, and created violin solos for Tony award winning Monty Python's SPAMALOT. (5th Ave Theater, Seatle) His arrangements of strings for top artists across the globe have been earned reviews of "liquid gold" for their effortless sound. 
        Graduating from Peabody Conservatory of the Johns Hopkins University with their highest award for the collaborative musician, Daniel blends the worlds of classical and pop for a dynamic skill-set. 
    He arranges music internationally but calls LA home.  Endorsements include a top-tier artist award from NS design, being an a member of the legendary Cirque Du Soleil artist databank and holding an active voting member position on the Grammy board. Few violinists possess the versatility to read and improvise side by side, making him a rare asset across the coast. Recent projects include arranging for Shaprece, Jessie Ware, performances with SOL, recording credits with multiple labels from the US to UK, and weekly shows at inernational airports.
