- INTERVIEW MAGAZINE

POWERFUL & DEVASTATING

“Daniel’s album gets off to a powerful start. A DEEPLY SATISFYING AND ULTIMATELY UPLIFTING piece of work. It’s not to be missed.”

- AMPLIFIER MAGAZINE  

DRAMATIC, QUAVERING TENOR

“Cartier's dramatic, quavering tenor often finds him hammering away at the same vowel of a syllable, trying to squeeze every ounce of feeling possible from the word... the music works beautifully.”

- COLLEGE MUSIC JOURNAL 

​

UNMISTAKABLY PURE

“He looks like a modern primitive but writes emotional songs that are heart-wrenching in their classic pop style, since he continually embellishes his best Top 40 instincts with an unmistakable pure sense of the outsider's way of life.”

- NEW YORK PRESS

COOL, SOULFUL VOICE

“The cool, soulful voice with which he renders his songs is unforgettable. The tattoo on his shaved pate is fairly memorable too.”

- PLAYGUY

A COMPELLING VOICE AND STUNNING STAGE PRESENCE. 

This guy hushed the posers and preeners who packed L.A.'s Viper Room, and he did it with his first three a-cappella notes. Very impressive!
