Fierce Promotes Smokin Ivories

Smokin’ Ivories is the brainchild of James Christian Daniels, a musician who has transformed a lifetime of suffering into an expressive, heartfelt set of songs that serves as a testament to the healing power of music. Though his body has betrayed him and made it difficult to play a guitar or bass for an extended period of time, his fingers now have naturally curved into the ideal posture for piano, allowing him to continue making music against all odds.

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.
