Adam Daniel

Adam Daniel first sat down at the piano when he reached the age of six. Three years afterward he added the guitar, and before long the teenager was writing his own material and performing it with local groups. Following high school he moved to California and enrolled at UCLA, where he balanced coursework with studio work as a producer and session player. He completed his studies in 1995 and promptly began assembling fresh songs for a demo tape. The independent East Coast label APG Music signed him, transforming that demo into his debut album, Blue Pop, which the company released in 1999. The collection of pop songs and dreamy ballads attracted attention on college radio, where it reached the Top 100 and remained for two months. Several tracks also found their way to television: “Cured,” taken from Blue Pop, aired early in 2001 on the WB series Jack and Jill, while “Her Shake” appeared that same year in the CBS movie Jenifer. Both songs resurfaced later in 2001 on the WB program Felicity, and “Who’ll Hold On (To My Heart)” was featured in the 2002 NBC telefilm The Matthew Shepard Story; “Cured” returned to Felicity again in 2002. Daniel fronts his own band, the Adam Daniel Frequency, handling piano, guitar, and vocals alongside drummer Scott Sadlon and bassist-vocalist Brian Nussle.
