He was recently awarded with "Best Music in the Screen Wars Challenge" at the 2007 Phoenix Film Festival. Daniel's remix "Invertebrate Retreat" was also tapped by video game composer Tommy Tallarico for inclusion on the Earthworm Jim Anthology album in late 2006. His preferred styles include orchestral, electronic, hip-hop, rock/metal and experimental. Daniel also works with local recording studios as a producer and engineer, and creates original works in a unique blend of the aforementioned genres under the moniker "dB." In his free time, he enjoys jamming at the Keytar, hitting percussive objects, space travel, alchemy, and marmoset wrangling.
