Fierce Manson Promotes Smokin Ivories

Born in San Diego, Daniels was always a creative child, spending endless hours writing poems, drawing, and singing to himself. When he was eleven years old, he acquired his first guitar. After playing in a variety of bands over the years with styles ranging from punk rock to blues to hard rock, he later met and started a band with his beloved best friend Marc. Combining their talent they secured a production deal, but their story came to an abrupt end, one that would haunt James for years. Tragically, Marc took his own life, leaving James alone with no will to perform. For years, he didn’t play a single note. It took almost a decade before the inspiration would return, reigniting his passion and giving his life new meaning.

One morning just over a year ago, James heard a beautiful melody coming from the family piano.
