Daniel Wyatt

He collaborated with Nicole Willis (Dee-Lite), and signed a lucrative major-label recording contract with the Lenny Waroneker, veteran president of Warner Brothers Records, with help of Gary Katz (Steely Dan) and Maurice Bernstein (Giant Step, NYC).

After producing and co-writing his first major label effort, Repercussion’s “Earth and Heaven”, which sold in excess of 200,000 copies world wide, including a number-one radio hit “Promise Me Nothing” in Japan, Daniel turned his energies toward establishing his own studio in the heart of New York City in 1990, and building up his engineering and producing catalog.  He earned himself and his partners their first platinum record, this time from A&M recording artist Blues Traveler’s “Live from the Fall” double CD.  Daniel was the primary Protools engineer and post-producer for the album.

Many productions ensued during the mid-nineties at his studio in midtown Manhattan, including such artists as Curtis Mayfield, Mos Def, Doctor John, N'dea Davenport, Sugar Ray, Olu Dara, and the Roots. In late 1998, Daniel was among the first engineer/producers to record Norah Jones, in their collaboration “Angels”, which was released on Atlantic Records, under the name Wax Poetic. In 2000, Daniel Wyatt co-founded Sonica Media Group, a boutique company dedicated to artist development and representation, including all facets of production and publishing.  In it’s five years of operation, SMG has deepened its contacts within the media industry, developing a client list that ranges from Rawkus Records to Newline Pictures to NASA.

In addition, Daniel was head of A&R for Recon/Artemis records for 2002-2004, creating masters with Old Dirty Bastard (Def Jam) and Elephant Man (VP/Atlantic), in addition to being the executive music producer for emmy-nominated "Word Wars" (Discovery/Times), that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival.

He's been senior instructor and course designer at some of the world’s largest music production schools and has lectured extensively throughout the world.

Recent collaborations include grammy-award winning Leonard Hubbard of the Roots, DJ Logic (John Mayer/Dave Matthews), Metropolis Opera Project, Postman, Peter Kirn, and Dub Sonata.
