Daniel began playing the violin at the age of 5 and the piano at age 8. He studied at the Junior Guildhall School of Music and Drama with Margaret Norris and Penelope Stirling, respectively, alongside his education at Tiffin School in London. Daniel was leader of the Tiffin Orchestra, and co-principal of the London School's Symphony Orchestra, going on several tours and working with distinguished soloists. In 2004 he gained an Instrumental Scholarship to Cambridge, where he read Music at Emmanuel College, graduating last year.
Whilst at Cambridge Daniel has played violin in the University Symphony and Chamber Orchestras, as well as giving many recitals as both a soloist and as a chamber musician with his IAS quartets. Last year he led the Opera Societies orchestra in its production of Les Mamelles de Tiresiaes.
