Daniel Roos was born and raised in Gorinchem, the Netherlands. His love for music has been great since he was just a little boy. Coming from a family full of artists - like singers, pianists, writers and painters - it's not too strange that Daniel wanted to dedicate his life to music.
As a little boy Daniel used to listen to cassettes that he got from his father. Most of this music was from the 60's and 70's. You can hear in Daniel's music that this has been a great influence to his songwriting.
Inspired by his late uncle Ad Roos, Daniel started to sing and play keys at the age of ten. It was the same uncle who inspired him to write his own songs. It got a little out of hand when he decided to really follow his uncle's footsteps and try to make it as a musician.
Over the last few years Daniel Roos wrote and recorded many songs, of which some appeared on cd. He played in several bands, and performed at ifferent stages and festivals. In 2007 he toured in South Africa and Lesotho, as the singer and keyboardist of a rap group. The experience of being and performing in Africa, and meetitng the African people, influenced his life and music in many ways.
In May 2009 Daniel Roos' debut album, called "A New Time", will be released. For this album he worked together with many great people, such as Joseph Bowie (trombone), Jonny Boston (saxophone), Jim Gilstrap and Sherlie Matthews (both backing vocals). But also with Michael Bizar (Bizar Bazaar) and Vince Melouney (ex-BeeGees) on guitar.
A New Time contains 12 new originals, including Coming Home and If I Could Believe.
