-ABOUT
NYC-based Daniel H. Cho is one of the most sought-after session/tour musicians (keys & cello) in today's music, who has worked with artists such as Coldplay, Regina Spektor, Katy Perry and John Mayer in the past. The uniquely rich tone and melodic lines he produces, and the ability to play in all genres well (which is uncommon for classical instrumentalists) makes him a rare gem, and put him in constant demand.

"Playing technical and impressive things is all good, but not enough people know the importance of knowing when to play and when NOT to play." says Daniel. The Berklee College of Music graduate also strongly believes in being open-minded and flexible when on the road or stuck in a stuffy recording studio for 18 hours straight. Oh, and showering.

When not performing, he works as a composer, (award-winning) songwriter, producer, string/symphony arranger, and is a member of the much-talked-about rock band Cooper, which was featured on MTV's The Hills numerous times this season.

On a random note, Daniel works as a correspondent for ESPNSoccerNet, and covered the Korean national team during the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
