Daniel Symons was born into a British famliy living in
Switzerland on May 14th 1973.

Besides music classes and the choir at school aged 15 he starts
stumming a few chords and bashing a drum kit. A couple of years
later wanting to find out more about the roots of drumming he jumps
on a train to West Africa with a drum kit... There the kit is traded for
the traditional djembe (easyer to travel with) rockin' it everyday till his
hands (and the neighbours ears) would have no more.

Back in Switzerland he moved in with a community of artists producing
a first album and also playing with various bands performing many
different styles such as reggae, rock, funk, punk, hiphop, jazz,
traditional african, middle eastern, etc...

The cold northern winds and some sort of mystical impulse move him to
India for the winter season where he meets hundreds of other gypsies,
travellers and so on to find he's not alone to love playing and dancing to endless
beats; came the discovering of electronic psychedelic music...

His next trip takes him to Mexico where he's "coincidentally" thrown into
a gathering of native american medicine men and women who came
from as far as Alaska and Tierra del Fuego.
He is initiated to various shamanic rituals which lead him
to play with various music, dance and
trance therapy workshops around the globe.

Forming and taking part in various bands and projects he has toured
several times in Mexico, played in Brasil, Morocco, Australia, Thailand,
India, Israel, USA, UK and many venues in Europe as a performer or dj.

He records ambient sounds along the way for his own productions and a radio station in Switzerland.
He's also written music for a few short movies.

A few of the events and organisations he has performed for include:
