Daniel Burnett has recently graduated from the University of Washington in Seattle with an English degree, journalism experience and a healthy mountain of debt.

London born, but South African raised, Daniel was a classically trained trumpet player, playing in the Johannesburg Foundation Orchestra and the Johannesburg Youth Jazz Orchestra from a young age. After immigrating to the US he took up the electric guitar and immersed himself in metal. Some five years later he arrived in Seattle and began exploring (and enjoying) nearly every conceivable genre. Seattle’s small basement clubs filled with the sounds of musicians, straining for their perfect pitch, are second home to him now.
