He trained at Berklee College of Music in Valencia, Spain. He composes and scores for film, and also works as a film composer's assistant during the daytime. At night he likes to play gigs. He'd even recorded an album of songs by the sea at Kalk Bay, a small fishing village that's now become part of Cape Town. But he hadn't known what to do next. Well, we said we love your music so let's meet up soon. A few days later we met Daniel. The album he'd mentioned is his remarkable debut. So here it is now released on CD. Daniel named his label 107 Recordings in recognition of the Foyles meeting where the idea for the release of this album was born. Daniel Gadd is 26 years old. He's British-South African. He grew up in South Africa, he lived in Spain for a year and after that, he found his way to London.
