Daniel Bark, born in Wuppertal in 1975, played music at home as a child. At the age of seven he received classical piano training and began to improvise on the piano and to make his first compositions. A few years later his art took him to Berlin, where he won prizes at the German Young Music Scene and Meetings of Young Songwriters. His interest in jazz and improvised music moved him to study electronic composition at the University of Dortmund and the Folkwang University in Essen. The most important learning experiences for him were always the self-taught occupation with the instrument, the interaction with other musicians and simply the devotion to music.
