Born and raised in the vibrant landscapes of Northern Arizona, Diego Daniel discovered his love for music early on. At just 8, he was already composing on the piano; by 11, he had picked up the guitar, and from then on, music became his lifelong companion. This passion drove him to Los Angeles at 16, where he immersed himself in the city's diverse music scene, performing with various bands at some of its iconic venues.   By 20, Daniel formed *Bad Americans* and dropped his debut album on SoundCloud, showcasing his raw talent and passion. Two years later, he returned to Arizona to pursue a solo career, embracing a more introspective sound, and diving deeper into his craft. His next chapter began in 2020 when he joined *Rivers Run Wild* as their lead guitarist, adding his signature style to their dynamic ensemble.   Daniel has also shared the stage with iconic legends like Damiyr, Decker, Sierra Soul, Sam Sharman, and Valkyrie Phoenix, carving out a unique voice across an array of genres. For Daniel, music isn’t just a part of life—it’s an eternal force. As he puts it, “Music will be with me until death, and beyond that… into the next life.”   Follow his journey on Instagram: @thediegodaniel TikTok: @DiegoDanielMusic
