To Whom It May Concern...
Everything came to me when I visited Tel Aviv in 2008. I wanted to escape my routine, run away from the situation where people are focused only on themselves. In Israel, I was inspired by the kindness of people, by how many different people and nations can live in one place and I saw one truth, LOVE. I started to dream. So, I’ve changed my artist name to Dani’el which in Hebrew stands for - God is my judge. In the Bible, Daniel was a teacher, a very young educated man and the only man to whom God spoke his name!: “I like you Daniel because you're a man of desires”.
Daniel was a dreamer of dreams. I asked myself, do these dreams and visions promote righteousness and purity in my life? The answer was YES!
Music is my dream, music is my shrink, my therapy. For me, love and music are the same thing.
Through the series of “The Book" and philosophical approach, I started to believe in religion of LOVE and sharing. So, if you start to listen to people and be careful about emotions of others, be nice to one another on a daily basis, start treating every human being with dignity and respect, actually, we CAN change the world! With love and ONLY with LOVE! Through my music i felt that I have responsibility to show a world in which love and happiness prevails.
This phase is over. The Book is done and I learned a lot! Now It’s time for a new chapter,
You may be asking „What's this now? Who is Belteshazzar!?“ Well, Belteshazzar is also Dani’el. A different me, with more emotions, with more LOVE. The purpose of changing the young men’s names was to help erase their attachment to their own nation and religion. Thus, Daniel and his three friends were given Babylonian names. Daniel, whose name meant “God is my judge” received the name Belteshazzar (“Bel protects his life - Keeper of the hidden treasures of Bel”).
You can change my name, but you cannot change me.
In my story, Belteshazzar will be the soul without gender, and this will be my fight. I’m happy to reveal that my new EP is in production and mixing stage, and will be released next year. I’m really looking forward to it. Stay tuned, cuz Belteshazzar is coming soon.
p.s. If you're on Instagram, you probably know that from time to time I post(ed) demos in the "Story" section, so be sure to check there cuz most of the updates come from there.
