About Daniel
Daniel Sky is a trumpet player based in New York City, born in 1993 in Warsaw, Poland.
Currently Daniel is preparing for the release of his second album “Songs For The World” expected to have a premiere on the May 1st, which will be the continuation of his musical vision after releasing debut album “Introduction to The Sky” in 2024. Daniel is performing as a bandleader and as a sideman on the most prestigious and historic clubs and bars of the New York City where he is living since 2022. Sky was awarded with a very prestigious grant by the Ministry of Culture in Poland due to his past achievements, he also received a prize from Downbeat Magazine for an outstanding solo performance and was the winner of many trumpet competitions in Poland in his younger age.
In the spring of 2020 Daniel graduated from Berklee Global Jazz Institute with a Master’s degree in Music. Berklee helped him not only with improving his abilities in performance, but also in composing and in the field of social change, music education and awareness.
In 2019 he received a Bachelor’s degree from Berklee College of Music and in the same year enrolled in a Master’s Program created by Berklee Global Jazz Institute where he afterwards started studying with Jazz masters such as Joe Lovano or Danilo Perez. Over the last years Daniel has been performing with musicians such as Kenny Werner, Kevin Harris, Benito Gonzalez, Jason Palmer, (R.I.P.) Zbigniew Namysłowski, Dayna Stephens or Stacy Dillard. In the same year he became a music assistant to (R.I.P.) Ralph Peterson and arranged his tunes “Forth and Back” and title track “Onward and Upward” which made it on the “Onward and Upward” album, which was considered for a Grammy Nomination.
Daniel initially started playing piano at the age of 6, followed by a trumpet at an early age of 12. He performed at festivals like “La Folle Journe” in France, “Jazz Rally” in Germany or “Crazy Days of Music” in Poland, and many other famous concert halls nationwide, such as the Polish Radio or National Philharmonic. During that time it was already very clear that Daniel is a promising young musician, especially because of the engagement and passion he had for music. He always had a little “something” that made him stand out from other musicians.
While he used to study the field of classical music in Karol Szymanowski Complex of State Music Schools No 4 in Warsaw, at the same time in the same school Daniel was also playing Big-Band as a lead trumpeter and a soloist, as well as playing in various brass ensembles and in a symphonic orchestra which pushed him to play repertoires from J.S.Bach to Count Basie, Duke Ellington or Neal Hefti, which also helped him grow a lot. After graduating from High School in 2012 and deciding to expand his musical journey, he started Henryk Majewski Post Secondary School of Jazz in Warsaw, where he would spend the next 3 years researching jazz music. Except Big- Band influences, Roy Hargrove, Wynton Marsalis and Miles Davis were Daniel’s first non Western Classical music inspirations. In 2016 Daniel achieved his big dream of getting accepted into Berklee College of Music, where he received a life-changing
opportunity to meet and learn from the world’s finest musicians. During that time he was discovering and shaping his tone on the trumpet by working with excellent faculties such as Sean Jones and Tiger Okoshi. He was also attending many Jason Palmer’s and Kevin Harris’s concerts at the Wally’s Jazz Club during their weekly residencies there. Daniel was performing with his band and other’s bands a couple times a week at Wally’s.

Perfect! My son really enjoyed his first lesson with Daniel! Daniel was patient and kind, and his lesson also included music theory.
Perfect! Daniel is an outstanding trumpet instructor. His teaching was very effective. He helped me a lot with improving my intonation, pitch accuracy, and dynamics. Daniel would use metaphors to explain more complex concepts, such as embouchure. IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE SOMEONE GUIDE YOU THROUGH. It's been almost a month now, and I can already play a song. I think the progress is incredible.
Perfect! Daniel is very wise in every aspect of the trumpet. From the technique to the theory and musicality behind it, he is great at guiding you towards being the best musician you can be. He’s very encouraging and helpful! Would absolutely recommend.
