Musician, Dancer

www.youtube.com/user/connordaniel23

BORN AND RAISED IN MOMBASA KENYA, now living in the UK. I sing, dance, play several instruments and compose a vast array of music styles produced in Logic Pro 9 -- my favourite being Dubstep at the moment. Please check out my Youtube channel CLUB23REMIXES and CONNORDANIEL23 where I am pleased to say I have over 2 MILLION VIEWS combined. I won the BBC BLAST STREETDANCE competition and went on to perform with JAY SEAN in 2008. I am honoured to be a dance student of the incomparable Justis Lorenzo who is also featured on this website. Whatever I do, I do to the best of my ability with absolute focus and dedication. I come from humble beginnings but will work extremely hard to get to the top. I'm really pleased to say that my original song ' HEARTBEAT' was played twice on the radio by BBC INTRODUCING in 2012. I was ranked #8 on the ReverbNation Dubstep charts for UK in October 2012 and #1 in the Dubstep charts in the South in January 2013
