Cain Daniel - LA Based Drummer/Percussionist
About Me
Born on January 1, 1995, in Manhattan, New York and raised in in Miami Florida, Cain spent his childhood in studios and venues. Ever since Cain can remember, he has always loved playing the drums. There are many stories of when his parents would have to physically hide the drums just to get him to stop playing them.
As a result, Cain gained a valuable education from these experiences, and began to take a special interest in world music styles such as Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and Haitian as well as others more contemporary styles like Jazz and Rock. His many musical influences include Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, David Weckl, Dafnis Prieto, John Robinson as well as bands ranging from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tower of Power, and Batacumbele.
In 2014 Cain earned an impressive Full Tuition Scholarship to Berklee and had the opportunity studying with legendary musicians such as Terry Lynn Carrington, Dave DiCenso, Mark Walker, Eguie Castrillo, and John Ramsay to name a few.
At 30, Cain has already had the privilege of sharing the stage with world renowned artists such as Kanye West, Engelbert Humperdinck, Derek Hough, Chappell Roan and Jesus Molina to name a few.
Today, Cain continues to play music and now lives in Los Angeles pursuing a career in music. Only the future holds what this young man can accomplish!
