Daniel Biro (pronounced Bee-ro) grew up in an Eastern European family in Italy and France before moving to London, bringing with him a healthy dose of mixed European cultural flavours.
Apart from releasing many albums as a solo artist or in collaboration with others (Echo Engine, Mysteries of the Revolution, L’Orange), he is the founder of legendary experimental label Sargasso and media music production company Ambient Arts Agency.
He has travelled a wide range of sonic territories, from experimental to mainstream, and also written soundtracks for award-winning films, dance/theatre performances and art installations.
He currently lives somewhere between vintage synth explorations, neo-70s electro jazz grooves and ambient/minimalist soundscapes.
