Daniel's journey to Sky

I was born in Cleveland, home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and started taking piano lessons early in life. We moved to Arizona to get away from the snow. When I was twelve I started playing the piano in church, causing the priest to dance down the isle. I sold home recordings on cassette tapes. Anyone know what those are? I was also the piano accompanist for the high school choir. Some called me the next Liberace (I didn't know who that was). I had a stronger desire to play hard rock music and took up the bass, playing in hard rock bands. 

Anyone who’s been in a band can tell you how frustrating it is when a band breaks up after you spend time committed to it. So when I was fired (or quit depending on who you ask) for having a bad attitude (I didn’t drink enough to keep up with my band mates and I wanted to play music more so than taking long smoking breaks), I went solo. I picked up the acoustic guitar. I've self-released several albums, more than 50 tracks, and have written and performed with Donovan.

It took me a long time to figure out how to write good songs and I wanted to share my process with those who don't play an instrument or write music. I created a service I call Song Chef®. It doesn't matter if you have zero experience. Say it with a song®. Schedule a session with me and let's write a song together.

I also designed the logo and merch (t-shirts, hats, stickers, mugs, hoodies).

I feel the competitive world today is limiting what humanity is capable of by stressing extreme specialization. It may be more productive to be well-rounded, a hat I refer to as being a “Renaissance” person. Leonardo da Vinci was a designer, artist, engineer, and scientist. I  will never be da Vinci or Donovan and don’t aspire to. Those are taken. Be yourself. I'm Daniel Isle Sky. Thanks for listening to my music. I hope it brightens your day and uplifts your sprit.

I've written twelve books and been a guest on hundreds of radio and television shows. Listen on Spotify, Pandora, or any streaming platform. Have a listen, enjoy, and follow your dream.
