Today we’d like to introduce you to Daniel Cancino.
Every artist has a unique story. Can you briefly walk us through yours?
Sure. I recently changed career paths, in favor of art. I like to think I create soundscapes for enjoyable settings. I was always working a decent job, I knew that something had to give. One day I got laid-off, and my whole sense of security changed. It hit me hard thinking that something so “stable”, could be shut down so quick, Having been a “musician” for 20 plus years, I finally got to flex that muscle memory. I began sending home recorded stock music to ad agencies. Soon after my lay-off, my art was being purchased by companies like Bud-Light and Sears, etc.
I have since built a catalog of stock music, but also have become a sit-in musician for several thriving bands, including my new “solo” project.
I hope that my new sounds can help ease people from the pressures of everyday life, no matter the extreme. If you’re doing laundry, I have a songs to go with that mood. If you want to dance, I’ve also got you covered.
What do you think is the biggest challenge facing artists today?
Lately I feel like the need to compete is a big challenge for any growing artist. Competing with yourself is one thing, but toward others contrives a different motive.
