Surrounded by predominately hip hop music and rappers unless you rap, getting notice and finding opportunities to make music was no easy feat for the Brownsville Brooklyn based urban contemporary singer/songwriter /_\drian Daniel. But when given the opportunity to put out his music and to perform with his band music bloggers and local DJ’s described /_\drian Daniel as a refreshing surprise. A huge fan of Kanye West, UK’s Sade, Frank Ocean, and ’30 Seconds to Mars’, N.E.R.D, Jay-Z and Q-Tip you can hear their influences in his songs. As a result of his mother’s influence Adrian was introduced to Stevie Wonder, Queen, Journey, Luther Vandross, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, Jackie Wilson, and Otis Redding. Then there an unorthodox side of Adrian’s music taste when he listens to artists like Jimmy Hendrix, Kid Cudi, MGMT, Bob Dylan, Cold Play and Prince. For song writing /_\drian likes to include socially conscience messages to his songs giving them a punk rock edginess. Adrian unique singing style and songwriting ability began to attract singing and rap artists and producers who wanted to work with him on projects. In 2012 Adrian released his first EP ‘Memoirs of a Stoner’, featuring the first single release ‘True Lovin’ and ‘Out of Gas’ produced by a newly formed production group The Stoners. Following the release of Memoirs of a Stoner in May 2012 to critical acclaim, Adrian toured/headlined around New York City area in notable venues including Sistas Place, Public Assembly, The BitterEnd, Brooklyn Jazz Festival, Tammany Hall, Synergy, Katra Lounge, etc. to promote his debut EP. He was invited as a featured guest artist on several college and hip hop local radios shows including DealWithNoDeal, Hunter College and WLVS ‘The L00king Glass’ located in DC (DMV) across from Howard U. Following the release of Adrian’s first official video single ‘Out of Gas’, /_\drian Daniel caught the attention of the Roots ‘Okayplayer’ as a featured artist on their ‘First Look Friday’ who described him as ‘fresh because of his originality…defies labels” and “gives an unabashed live performance”. In high school he faced numerous challenges to the point that he was at risk of dropping out had it not been for peers and family encouraging him to follow his dream of becoming a singer/songwriter. It was a long shot but his determination, perseverance and talent was starting to pay off. He recruited more band members to prepare while churning out new music.The entire year in 2012 has been an experience since the debut EP ‘Memoirs of a Stoner’. The EP named the Best of 2012 Top 12 Independent Singer/Songwriter releases by TCMA caught him and everyone by surprise. Adrian is still tripping that its been received so well by his peers. His life challenges unfold in his stories told through his music. “Having to deal with the stories about my life being publicized in my music is not easy, but to me its cleansing to get them out.” /_\drian shared that he has always been a person whose feelings seem to overcloud his judgment at times and admits that it doesn’t get easier as he grows and experience life. Now on his second EP ‘NATIVE’ released February 2013 and recent highly charged and well received live performances with his band The Stonerz headlining at City College Black History Celebration, and The Brooklyn Museum Friday show, /_\drian music delivers the honesty that challenges him emotionally, spiritually, musically and vocally. His stories made a difference, he says, between somebody hearing something of mine and being like “WOW!”, this is a fresh approach that evokes a range of emotions from his fans. ‘/_\drian’ presents stories the way comedians laugh through their pain. He still is facing his truths every time he pens a song and every time he step up to sing though painful and raw and at time soulful but he feels like this is something he must do for himself and for those who he believes really appreciate his raw honesty. https://twitter.com/ADthestoner https://soundcloud.com/user9137258 http://instagram.comADTheStoner http://facebook.com/ADTheStoner http://www.youtube.com/user/LDC4Life Click to view and vote!
