Baltimore-based artist Daniel Neiman, also known as Captain Morris, has been writing music since the age of 7. Now 18, Neiman remembers fondly of filling endlesscassette tapes with recordings of him and his sister playing pretend hosts for a radio station. Fueled by various genres as a young kid, Neiman since the beginning has been a devoted music fan. Inspired by Jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington, as well as alternative heroes Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, and the Cure, Neiman has developed a musical identity true to his own. His style consists of incredibly dense music composition and layering. Lyrics that walk the line between sincerity and irony, taking on a surreal persona with confrontational and poignant lyricism. ​ ​ The talented young musician wrote, performed, recorded, and produced his upcoming album, Interviewee in his home studio in Baltimore.
