Biography

Growing up in the sixties and seventies, he soaked in the records his older brother brought home: Santana, Chicago, Cream, and more. Later came the jazz‑fusion giants: Larry Carlton, Jeff Beck, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever. When his family moved to a small village in France at age fourteen, the isolation became a gift. With little else to do, Daniel devoted himself fully to the guitar, practicing up to twelve hours a day.

During those years, he and his brother formed a band called Common Market, playing weddings and small concerts while sharpening their performance chops. The group evolved into a Santana tribute band, which left a lasting mark on Daniel’s technique and musical identity. Eventually they became the Young Brothers Band, performing original music throughout the region. In 1981, they took the stage at the Elixir Rock Festival, opening for the band America before nearly 20,000 people.

By the mid‑eighties, Daniel shifted his focus from live performance to recording. While many musicians thrive late at night, he prefers the quiet clarity of early mornings in his home studio, Moose Tracks. There, he has recorded albums spanning instrumental rock, jazz fusion, Latin rock, progressive metal, smooth jazz, and even Celtic rock.

Today, Daniel embraces the freedom of the modern musical landscape. The internet allows independent artists like him to share their work directly with listeners: no gatekeepers, no constraints, just music from the heart reaching the people who connect with it.  ♫
