Cain Daniel in an aspiring drummer/musician out of Miami, Florida.

Born on January 1,
1995, in Manhattan, New York, he was raised in and out of studios and venues, watching
his parents play music that excited and made thousands of people enjoy themselves. Ever
since Cain can remember, he has always loved and played the drums. There are many
stories of which his parents would have to physically hide the drums just to get him to
stop playing them.
As the years went by, Cains love for the drums and music intensified. Because his
parents are both musicians, he was constantly being exposed to a wide variety of music
and musicians. When his father used to take him to his gigs or rehearsals, he would sit
completely silent and become completely mesmerized by music alone. Watching and
listening to musicians was his favorite thing to do just as video games or football was to
other children.
As a result of the exposure and awareness that Cain gained from these gigs as well as the
vast travel experience around the world (China, Australia, Europe, and South America to
name a few), Cain began to take a special interest in world music styles such as Brazilian,
Afro-Cuban, and Haitian as well as others more contemporary styles like Jazz and Rock.
His many musical influences include Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, David Weckl, Dafnis
Prieto, John Robinson as well as bands ranging from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tower of
Power, and Batacumbele.

But perhaps the most influential people in his music career would have to be his parents,
Jimmy Daniel and Marybeth DeSarle. They have provided him with the means as well as
the support he needs to pursue his dream. My dad has taught me everything that I know
and continues to help me along my musical career as well as my life, and my mother gave
me a place for me to develop as a musician and learn many of the most crucial musical
lessons at a young age , he says.

At a young age of 19, Cain has already had the privilege of sharing the stage with
renowned Artists such as Eddy Francois and Boukan Ginen, Iko-Iko, Joey Gilmore,
Albert Castiglia, and Lita Ford, amongst many others.

Cain is now attending the highly prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston on a
Full Tuition Scholarship. He hopes to further his musical career and gain as much
knowledge as he can from these great teachers. In his short time at Berklee Cain has
already been given the opportunity to study with legendary musicians such as Terry Lynn
Carrington, Ralph Peterson, Mark Walker, Eguie Castrillo, and John Ramsay.
