Based in Glasgow City Centre, Daniel is the founder and studio owner of Eleven Eleven Music, a creative hub where artistry and authenticity converge.
Known for his distinctive acoustic sound – honest, raw, and deeply human – Daniel has become a go-to voice for stripped-back reinterpretations of well-loved songs. His acoustic covers have landed on major Spotify editorial playlists alongside artists such as Ed Sheeran and John Mayer, and have been featured across TV and film, including multiple placements on UK TV shows.
Beyond his artist work, Daniel is an accomplished songwriter and producer who collaborates extensively with sync companies in both the US and UK. His songs have soundtracked everything from MTV series to global marketing campaigns, all while maintaining a warmth and sincerity that connects across genres.
In 2023, Daniel released dream again – his first full-length collection of original material – marking a defining creative chapter that introduced a more expansive and cinematic sound. The project affirmed what listeners already sensed: Daniel isn’t just a songwriter, he’s a storyteller with a producer’s ear and an artist’s soul.
Under his neo-classical moniker GÅEL, Daniel explores the quieter spaces of sound – delicate, evocative piano compositions that have found a vast global audience. With over 100 million streams to date, GÅEL’s music continues to feature heavily in film and television, offering a soundscape that is at once intimate and timeless.
Whether he’s writing, producing, mixing, or mentoring other artists, Daniel embodies what it means to be a modern creator — independent, visionary, and deeply connected to the art itself. Every song, every note, is a reflection of a life lived with intention and a relentless pursuit of beauty and truth through music.
RED CORRIE, YELLOW CORRIE
Forged of late nights, shared drams, and voices raised long after the fire burned low, Red Corrie, Yellow Corrie are a heartfelt tribute to The Corries. A passion project born on a white December evening on the banks of Loch Venachar and under the shadow of Ben Ledi, drinking whisky and singing Corries songs deep into the night,
Through these songs, they found not just melodies, but a living connection to Scotland’s rich history, its humour and hardship, and the rugged beauty of its land and people. From timeless ballads to rousing anthems, Red Corrie, Yellow Corrie honour the spirit of Scotland by keeping the music honest, unpretentious, and full of heart — just as it was meant to be sung.
This is music for raised glasses, shared memories, and nights that linger long after the final chorus.
