About the author
Daniel is a rhyming poet, hip hop artist, comics writer, and director of ambitious independent multimedia projects.
His work tends to use storytelling and dense rhyme schemes to explore our relationship with nature, technology, consciousness, and personal growth. Often in collaboration with some of the most talented musicians and visual artists in the world.
After a 6-year run of consecutive projects, he took 6 years off from releasing anything to the public. His newest release is a return to form—a 276-page book that tells a fable through an illustrated poem and lyrics to an hour-long album of music.
