DANIEL BENJAMIN
Daniel Benjamin is a 25 year old musician from Southern Germany. Playing over 400 shows all over Europe and all kinds of different instruments in his former bands he was able to collect enough experience to start his „solo“ project where he writes, plays, sings and records his music completely on his own.
Combining simple songwriting with wild sound experiments and beautiful melodies with unexpected structures, Daniel Benjamin creates a unique soundtrack for your mind.
His live performances which include a lot of his friends playing various instruments have a different line-up at almost every show and no song ever sounds the same twice.
Already as a kid Daniel was a curious music fan who since the age of 10 bicycled to the next village´s record store regularly and bought almost all cheapo records he could get. Some of his still favourite bands like Daniel Amos and Adam Again were discovered back then and helped him create an own understanding of music without having radio and tv.
At the age of 14 he started recording his first music and writing his first songs.
In early summer 2003 he finally made his long kept idea become real and recorded 8 songs for his first „solo“ demo release called „the field e.p.“
In September 2003 Daniel recorded four songs for a collaboration e.p. with the U.S. group Norfolk&Western which was released as „the ocean e.p.“ For his first show in Norway in June 2004 he recorded 6 songs for the next demo called „the city e.p.“, followed by „the mountain e.p.“ in July.
In December 2004 and January 2005 Daniel Benjamin went touring Germany and Holland for 28 shows and released his first official single called „lightning strike me“. In February 2005 the next tour in Germany and The Netherlands as support of US singer-songwriter Denison Witmer took place.
Since Late 2003 he is working on his first debut album with the well – known producer and jazz artist Don Philippe from Germany´s no 1 soul group „Freundeskreis“ which will be released some day in 2005
With that material he hopes to find a record company that is able help him grow and get the publicity he deserves.
