Daniel says the “Big Band Jazz is quite simply very fun to play and listen to.  It makes you want to move to its rhythm!”  He plans to attend Cal State Fullerton after graduation.  He considers himself “a very contradicting person and thus somewhat hypocritical.  I love to make fun of everything whether I like it or not.  I love exercising, food, music and comics.  I dislike rap, disco and bagpipes”.  His advice to another young musician just starting out: “Learn to listen!”

Daniel plays lead, rhythm and slide guitars (and some horn) for S.L.I.P: www.myspace.com/sdotldotidotpdot
