Artist History I've been playing guitar for over 22 years. I grew up listening to bands such as early Genesis. Ventured into a few rock bands before deciding to sell my electric guitar at the age of 22. For the next 9 years I played and composed music for the classical guitar. At 31 I took up flamenco guitar and have started a part time career playing in the Calgary area. I started a small independent label for my music called MP3 Records. I've been featured on the MP3.com "103 of the best songs you've never heard" CD Compilations Vol 1 & 2 and the 50 MP3 Chart Toppers CD. 6 songs (Super Samba, Exotica, Spanish Rumba, Midnight Buleria, Fabulous Fandango, Pulsations) made the 1999 Top 20 Countdown. 6 songs being the most from any single artist or band. Fabulous Fandango was also loaded on the new Samsung MP3 players. For more info visit my page at: www.mp3guitar.com. Note on my CD Fusion: It contains 17 songs from my four CDs Pulse, Exotica, Saphire and Romance.

Instruments Guitar Bass Percussion.

Press Reviews I would just like to say that you have an amazing talent.. I have listened to many different flemenco guitarists, including Paco de Lucia, and Al DiMeola, and personally I think you blow them away. I will definitly buy your albums and the best of luck. - Senior Electrical Computer EngineerSoftware Intern ( Sonic Foundry )Timothy C. St. Clair .... I've played classical guitar for about 35 years and have not heard anything in the realm that approximates the passion and feeling that you have achieved. Truly marvelous music. Paul Guin ...... Congratulations to Daniel Cox, today's "Pick Hit Gold" winner! This guy plays the most wicked classical guitar I have ever heard. He totally blew me away! Doug Cornell - amp3.com............. I really love your stuff. Someone asked me recently who my favorite MP3c artist is, and I have to tell you - you're it. Just one good song after another - that's what CRACKHOUSE MUSIC respects. www.mp3.com/crackhouse .................. Your guitar playing amazes me. I listen to Paco de Lucia, Sabicas, Carlos Montoya, Manitas de Plata, Paco Pena, etc. and some of the more recent artists like Strunz & Farah... and you've earned a spot on that list. -Milad Ali Ershaghi ................. TAG TEAM REVIEWS by Chauncey Canfield & Rambo Blue Rumba by Daniel Cox (NewAgeWorldMusic) - Guitarist Daniel Cox probably agonized over the decision of where to place his music, finally arriving at NewAge/World Music. Here is someone who is positively bursting out of his genre. Cox's fluid style and diverse compositions incorporate flamenco, rhumba, rock and mambo rhythms and styles. Cox probably draws frequent comparisons to Jessie Cook and Ottmar Leibert, but I find his playing to be much more consistent and compelling than the latter. While his music evokes a traditional flavor, he sounds thoroughly modern, and his virtuosity is apparent throughout. Try any of his tunes and you'll do well. Blue Rumba was one of my favorites. -Chauncey The Rambo Report www.breakingartists.com
