Renowned for his authentic, vulnerable lyricism and intricate fictional storylines, he refuses to be confined to a single soundscape. His music bends and breaks boundaries, always surprising and challenging the norm.

In 2022, Daniel Sherman promised his fans the most diverse year of music yet, and he certainly delivered. Collaborating with producer Giovanni Piazza, he released a mesmerizing hip-hop track, followed by a folk-inspired EP titled "Chronicles of a Calloused Heart." And just when you thought he couldn't surprise you further, he unveiled his genre-switching horror album, also titled "UNCAGED."
