Daniel D
Rhythm, harmonies, the warmest smile, Jazz, R&B, & Hip Hop melodies. Charleston, South Carolina native Daniel Lee Davis better known as Daniel D when he is on stage holding his violin. Since the age of 12 Daniel D has released two studio albums: "Play for Me" & "Serenade". He has serenaded audiences of all sizes, from my small Claflin University, the University of South Carolina, Apollo Theater winner, Kanye West, the 2008 Barack Obama Presidential Campaign, & many more venues his skill & talent has taken him.
Even though it's hard to imagine, before Daniel D swooned us with his violin, there was the guitar. Like all things made legendary, it takes trial & error. The violin was something to get a grasp for. Daniel D admits to initially having a disdain for his instrument. Now that he has become a violin virtuoso, the violin is what he puts his time into.
Despite accumulating quite a resume for himself as a performer he never puts one above another, "I really don't have a favorite one, I perform for a few just as I do for a thousand.
Although there is one artist that he aspires to perform alongside with, the iconic Stevie Wonder
