Artist Summary
Artist Bio
Originally from Colorado, Daniel began composing original songs at the age of 15, shortly after moving to Mexico. There In the mountains of southwestern Mexico, Daniel and his older brother David jointly immersed themselves in music and music theory, mastering numerous instruments along with the Spanish language.
Drawing on the influences of American rock, Latin, blues, soul, reggae and classical music, the bilingual, bicultural brothers sometimes wove in threads of Latin rhythms and styles, creating songs in both Spanish and English.
Today, Daniel sings and plays ten instruments. It is often heard that he may be the best rock bassist in the country. He is also an accomplished classical and acoustic guitarist, keyboardist, drummer and harmonica player.
Laid-back and mellow off-stage, he transforms into a compelling performer on-stage, unleashing the energy particularly in the rock group scenario.
A Certified Sound Musician, Daniel works the controls at SilverChord Studio, and while under contract to Three Sound Studios (CA-GDL) he served as recording director.
His knowledge of music theory and mastery of numerous instruments come in handy as a session musician.
In 2005, after many years of study, Daniel released his first sound therapy CD entitled, “Tuning In to Soundwaves.” The CD featured 60 minutes of relaxing, melodic and completely extemporaneous acoustic guitar recorded on top of very precise digital tones which have been proven to draw cellular frequencies back into balance. The first printing of the CD sold out within weeks, as orders came in from around the world. Daniel is currently working on another sound therapy CD
More About Daniel Cordero
At a recent show, a female fan screamed, “He looks like a prophet and sings like an angel. I think I’m in love!” Well, he’s certainly no angel, but this tall, blond and bearded musician is turning heads and making a big splash in the music scene south of the border.
Originally from the U.S., Daniel has spent the past 12 years studying music in southwestern Mexico, and there is no doubt he has found his calling ... he was born to be onstage. He lives and breathes music 24-7.
No matter what instrument he is on (he plays a total of ten), what genre he is performing, or whether the song is in English or Spanish, there is no question he has a rare talent and a style all his own.
