My name is Daniel Eiseman, I am a nineteen year old singer-songwriter, guitarist, and producer, and just finished recording my first full length studio album. I decided to write my own bio because I know I would hate myself if it didn't convey exactly what I wanted it to (and because our culture calls for being as interactive with media as possible...). I've been playing guitar and writing songs for close to ten years. During that time I have gone from being an avid "pop" listener to an R&B lover; to being mesmerized by the blues and the great guitar players of the world and back to "pop" again. My love for the “hook” in a song, and my interest in a variety of music has defined me as a song-writer and guitarist. I have also always loved the process of recording music, which often goes unnoticed. In addition to the chords, melodies and lyrics, that process equally defines the sound of a song and the artist. Since I began writing and recording music (when I plugged in a quarter-inch microphone into my now outdated computer to record clips of young me's songwriting attempts), I have had the natural habit of refining them continuously throughout the process. I have spent countless hours with my computer, allowing me to grow not only as a songwriter, guitarist and singer, but also as a producer and arranger. Admittedly a perfectionist, I thrive in that atmosphere. Just as I am in love with the act of creating the song, the sound, the image, the package (and partner) of the music, I also am consistently working hard to become a better performer. In the past few years, my time playing in bands and jamming with friends and other musicians has been part of growing as a performer. Growing up in the age of the internet has also enabled me to watch thousands of videos of great artists performing live, study their habits, and incorporate the qualities that I feel make them successful into my performances. Becoming a better listener and observer has also encouraged me to learn other instruments, such as drums, bass, and keyboard. The last few years, outside of the classroom, most of my time has been spent writing and recording, trying to simulate the sound a band, which may have been the best thing for me. I wrote a new group of songs and revisited old ones, all through the process of back-and-forth writing, recording, and refining, to build, what I hope is a fresh and authentic sound. I knew the time was right for me to get into a studio and turn the recordings I've made in my room into something I could display on a professional level. I spent the summer driving out to New Jersey everyday to work tirelessly recording thirteen songs that have become my first album, titled "All Out". This title represents how I want to be seen and understood in relation to the lyrics and music I have written. Working with a great person and producer, Jake Antelis, I recorded this album without a formed band, on my own, so I wouldn't lose the sound, vision, and connection to the songs I've developed over the past couple of years.  I have heard successful people say, "If you want to be successful, you have to define your goals". It sounds simple, but my goals are big ones. Over what I hope will be a long career as an artist in the music industry, I will consistently renew my dedication to being someone who creates music, plays for crowds of three people and thousands, writes and produces music, not just for myself, but for others, and establishes himself as a guitarist, musician and songwriter. My main goal, however, is to always stay listenable. I hope that as many people as possible enjoy my music. If you like what you hear, please help spread the word (it works better than you might think!) I’d like to thank my family, friends and anyone who has helped me along the way for all their support. Additionally, I’d like to thank my friend, co-producer, and drummer, Jake Antelis, and his brother Ben (drums), Ted Motz (bass), and Elan Kiderman (Violin). It was a pleasure working with all of you.
