Daniel Wayne

In a time where audiences are starved for authenticity, there are only a few that can actually deliver the goods to make you feel like you are hearing some thing classic and familiar yet fresh. Daniel Wayne is one of those artists. You are sold on Daniel Wayne's talent and potential as well as his infectious charisma in the first nanoseconds that you hear his powerful and gifted voice. Daniel's music is simple, raw, at times dark, at times inviting, but always with a sense of vulnerability not heard from a contemporary male vocalist for some time. There aren't many artists that possess the talent to mesmerize the listeners to absolute silence and command them to listen to a voice that is both angelic, as well as full of power and range. If you are looking for the next big voice, look no further than Daniel Wayne.

Over the last year this Cincinnati transplant has created quite a buzz based on his subtlety powerful live performances - especially amongst industry insiders. His live shows are sharp, stunning and pack a wallop that even the most critical of fans and industry have gushed. Really strong songs sung by an unforgettable voice and surrounded by tight pockets of tremendous playing by his band. Daniel’s solo performances pack a serious visceral wallop as well.

Soon the world will be aware of Brooklyn’s finest new troubadour.

At the age of 8 he began writing songs and beats on a Casio keyboard his sister gave him. Growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, teachers used to complain to his mother that he made weird noises in the classroom. He has always had music in his head and lyrics on his mind. He played trumpet in high school and was once given a failing grade for a music theory class because he refused to recite someone else’s song, opting instead to perform an original.

Daniel and his band have just finished a 4 song EP with more recording plans for this year. A late fall East Coast tour will follow.
