Hi, I'm Daniel, aka A Path Untold.

I've been composing, producing and releasing original electronic music for 22 years now. For me, it’s truly a way of life, and has been a deeply meaningful way to process my experience of the world. I’ve released a wide array of music on an eclectic spectrum of labels, including Aleph Zero/Beats & Pieces, Gravitas, Timewheel, Aquatic Collective, Valence, Resueno, The Chambers Project, and many others.

Over the years, I’ve crafted a distinctly signature style and stuck to my authentic vision at all costs, in an effort to create unique, emotionally impactful music that transports people to new realms and transcends boundaries.  

The one thing that I love doing as much as making music, is helping other people do the same - through teaching, coaching and mentorship. In addition to my extensive experience teaching composition & production, I've also developed expertise in creativity coaching, integrating the two practices into a cohesive whole. As a mentor, I'm offering you the opportunity for us to work closely together to discover, nurture and realize your unique musical offering - the music that only YOU can bring into this world.

I believe it’s highly preferable to learn from someone whose musical work you really connect with and find inspiring, and value learning from. Therefore, I encourage you to check out my work and if it speaks to you, let's operate from that level. I know I'd want to have learned from artists whose music I connected with. Learning from someone who's been through the pitfalls, challenges and triumphs along the way, can empathetically tune into your creative vision, and can curate a path of learning for you is invaluable. My goal is to teach you what I know I've unlocked for myself, which is to make the music I've always wanted to hear in the world.

Let's cultivate your unique sound together.
