ABOUT DANIEL

Daniel Nieberg is an American composer, arranger, songwriter, and producer based in New York, NY. He is a natural storyteller, blending classical beauty with modern grit to further complement the narrative of his content collaborators. His musical voice is grounded in the search for beauty, emotional catharsis, and the exploration of his Jewish identity. He is a founding member of Syncdicate, a collective of experienced composers, producers, and post-production audio professionals.

He is the recipient of the 2026 Production Music Association Scholarship. He wrote original music for the documentary films THE COUNTRY CRIES WOLF! (2026 NYU News Doc Festival) and BETWEEN HERE AND WAR (2026 Teaneck International Film Festival), the latter having won the 2025 Best Documentary at CUNY Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.

​

He released his debut album JERICHO in October 2025, showcasing original songs and string instrumentals that he arranged, orchestrated, and produced. He also collaborated with singer-songwriter Copeland James on their album SMALL TALK by writing and orchestrating original string parts.

​

Apart from his love of Gustav Mahler and other late-Romantic composers, he takes large inspiration from alternative artists such as Wilco, Big Thief, Elliott Smith, Radiohead, and Bon Iver.

​

Daniel also enjoys cooking a mean lasagna, writing sad poetry, and picnics. In his free time, you can find him playing with his band, Copilots.
