Daniel Iyere is a mixed media producer & culture curator who currently lives in Los Angeles, California. “I want to play music that is meaningful, that stands the test of time,” says Daniel, borrowing words of Fela Kuti. Under this mantra, he has produced rich and compelling material, rife with lush polyrhythm that reflects parts of his early music education and roots in Lagos, Nigeria. Daniel was born in Lagos, Nigeria but moved to the United States to pursue a college degree in music technology at Radford University, VA. Upon graduating, Iyere spent years working as a freelance producer, lending his skills to record labels, publishers and artists, alike. Daniel has worked as a producer for Sony Music Entertainment where his musical contributions helped launch the career of Cuban-American artist Kat Dahlia, amongst others. Daniel has licensed music to Starbucks, MTV, VH1, American Idol, and others. His work has garnered millions of streams across major platforms such as Spotify. Recently Daniel began developing a new catalogue of music that focuses on his vocals Currently, Daniel is rounding up work on a new project called Mainland Blues in which draws from influences spanning his upbringing in Lagos and exposure to Afrobeat artists like Fela Kuti, to the gospel and contemporary neo-soul sound that is currently enjoying a large resurgence in America and beyond.
