Daniel Paul Nelson, a Harvard University graduate who hails from Santa Cruise, CA. began singing in the choir of his Washington, D.C. middle school when he was 11 years old. He wrote and performed original fusion music in his high school jazz band and, after receiving his first acoustic guitar as a gift from Jackson Browne, started exploring and writing folk music when he was 16. In 2004 he combined his passions for art and politics by founding the Democreation Project, a youth-oriented artist troupe that supported ‘The Dennis Kucinich for President Campaign’; the project garnered significant media attention from outlets such as CNN, The New York Times, and MTV. In 2005 he relocated to New York City to study music at Sarah Lawrence College. Then, in 2008 he returned to Harvard University—where he had spent his freshman year—to complete his bachelor’s degree in political theory. His debut album, Awakening, represents a coming together of Daniel’s most ardent interests: politics, spirituality, and music. His songs blend styles from the pop/rock, folk and gospel genres.
