Daniel's music is simple, raw, at times dark, at times inviting but always with a sense of vulnerability. Daniel has mesmerized listeners to absolute silence with a charisma and a voice that is angelic, full of power and unique.

Growing up in Cincinnati, teachers used to complain to his mother that he made weird noises in the classroom. He always had music in his head and lyrics on his mind. At the age of 8 he began writing songs and beats on a Casio keyboard his sister gave him. He played trumpet in high school in addition to making beats and writing songs on piano and guitar.

With only his guitar and his notebooks, he packed his bags and moved to Brooklyn. This Cincinnati transplant created a buzz based on his memorable songs, unique voice and powerful live performances. It wasn't long before the people of Brooklyn began to notice and took him in as one of their own. They began telling their friends and eventually industry insiders took notice.

Daniel has captivated audiences with stunning performances that have won over fans, press and music bloggers alike. He has opened for Shawn Mullins, Heartless Bastards, The Head and The Heart, Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs, Suzanne Vega, Jessica Lea Mayfield, The White Buffalo, Tim Rogers, O'Death, The Handsome Family, Lights, Anna Calvi and Cold Speck among others.

Searching for the right producer, Wayne returned home to Cincinnati and began working with the legendary Brian Olive at his studio The Diamonds. They are currently finishing up his debut full-length album. The album consists of 10 songs and showcases Wayne and Olive's work as well as players from Cincinnati's smokin' hot music scene.
