McDaniel Brothers
A lifelong creative partnership, Kellen and I have shared our creativity since early childhood. You’ll find him in a lot of pictures around the site and his help, support, and often blood/sweat/tears are present in much of the music I’ve written over the years.
Kellen has a creative voice all his own and together we find both of our powers increased. As we push each other’s boundaries, we’re continually searching for new modes of expression in new mediums
Framework
If you already visited the dance page, you saw this credit there. It’s important for me to note what an integral part Kellen played in the creation of this piece. Everything from co-writing the script to conceptualizing a lot of the musical language and flow. Based on our grandmother’s experience with Alzheimers, this piece remains one of our most successful collaborations to date.
