Daniel’s parents, having fled their Eastern European countries of origin due to World War Two, were compelled to move from country to country: South Africa, Italy, UK, France and beyond. As a result, Daniel grew up absorbing a diversity of cultures and languages. A true world citizen.

Growing up in the South of France, he joined the Jazz Conservatory of Monaco led by cult-figure Roger Grosjean, with whom he studied for eight years. Here he acquired his passion for the Rhodes electric piano and, at the age of twelve, got his first analogue synthesizer. He has been hooked on all things electronic ever since.

After moving to London, Biro (pronounced Bee-ro) founded the Sargasso label in 1993 which has been releasing and promoting ground-breaking experimental artists and composers of contemporary music. 

Over the years Biro has collaborated with film makers, choreographers, visual artists, producing numerous recording projects and soundtracks for international TV and award-winning films.

He has released over 30 albums, whether as a solo artist, with his bands Mysteries of the Revolution (jazz-rock/fusion prog), Echo Engine (ambient/electronica/improv) and with long-term collaborator Colin Bass (Camel).

Daniel’s sound is a unique combination of his early influences (Berlin-style cosmic synths, 70s jazz-fusion, ECM label jazz, Motown soul and West-coast rock) with more experimental ambient electronic minimalism. The result is a multi-layered, multi-cultural exploration of Biro's personal sonic magic-realism.
