About Me

Hand Percussionist, Recording artist, Session player, Song writer/ collaborator, eccentic performance artist, muti-talented versitile auxillary musician with skills including guitar, bass, flute, sax, and others. Basically i love to create colorful expressions that are condusive to each artists specific style and feel of each song. I like to think that i approach music from the point of view that each project be unique in it's own right. I have over 15 years road as well as studio experience doing percussion,vocal and guitar works, however have been on stage in one form or another since the age of 7. I come from a musical family so music has always been an integral part of my life. Music to me transcends culture, race, gender, religion, and many other specific boundaries that lay at the core of human tragedy. Music transports one to different landscapes beyond the restraints of daily life at an almost etheral, spiritual level. Music, as well as many other art forms, truly form a symbolic archaic language that all humans can connect with. And i passionately love to connect with people on that level. That is why i do what i do. Rum pa pum pum! Danyael
