JD Daniel

JD Daniel (they/he) is a composer-performer based in Kansas City, Missouri. JD’s humanistic and intersectional approach to creation manifests in the theatrical and existential qualities of their work. Known especially for his treatment of poetry and the voice (both spoken and sung), JD participated in Art Song Lab 2018, and then a chamber arrangement of the work he and poet-collaborator Irina Rakhilkina created that summer, “universe is trying to tell me something but it’s mute,” was commissioned and premiered by the Erato Ensemble in 2019. JD holds a musicology-focused BA in Oxbridge Music and Philosophy from William Jewell College (’19).
