-ABOUT
NYC-based Daniel Cho is one of the most sought-after session/tour musicians (cello & keys) in today's music, and when not performing, he works as a producer, songwriter, composer, and string/symphony arranger/orchestrator. He also is a member of the much-talked-about rock band Cooper , which was recently featured on MTV's "The Hills".
Many reasons behind the high demand for his work are the uniquely rich tone and the melodic lines he produces, and his ability to improvise in all genres, which is uncommon for a classical instrumentalist.
But even the spontaneous notes he plays are carefully chosen to ensure it is fitting to the music, and that is ...tasteful. "Not enough people know the importance of knowing when NOT to play." says Daniel, and strongly believes in being open to criticism and flexible when stuck in a stuffy recording studio for 18 hours straight or on the road. And showering.
On a random note, Daniel works as a correspondent for ESPNSoccerNet, and covered the Korean national team during the 2006 World Cup.
