Bio
The first thing many people ask is, "What does DC stand for?" It is a nickname given to him around 6-7 years old by friends, and comes from his first and middle name, Daniel Christopher. Singing publicly since he was only 5 years old DC's passion for music, and the Giver of all song, has continued to flourish. DC's love for God is evidenced in his love for people as well. Never shy, DC enjoys meeting new people.
His gift of song goes back a few generations. DC's grandfather was a singer and played several instruments. This gift seems to have been passed to DC who loves playing guitar, drums and piano and wants to learn new instruments.
Going back one more generation, DC's great-grandfather was an orchestra conductor. DC is also blessed with this ability to arrange music and bring a new twist to an older song.

Musical abilities
The first instrument DC began playing was piano. From this, learning the fundamentals of music, DC has taught himself to play drums and guitar. His passion for guitar is the neoclassical style; incorporating complex rythyms and progressions.
Musical Style and Inspiration
Trying to pigeonhole DC into one genre is pretty much impossible. His diversity is comprised of being truly eclectic. From older classical styles to modern music- if it's done well, DC can appreciate it. Today you will find DC reaching higher, seeking out more complex pieces that challenge and stretch his abilities- yet he never forgets the most important thing of all.
He sings, ultimately, for an audience of One; who reigns upon His throne.
Not bad for a 12 year old. :) It sounds great, Daniel. The Lord certainly has blessed you with talent. Continue to use for His glory, bro.
