Multi-instrumentalist Daniel Flores was born in Conception, Chile and moved to Stockholm, Sweden at the age of seven. At the age of ten he started to play the violin for a few years but then quitted for the lack of musical interest. By the age of sixteen he followed some friends to a studio just to check out the instruments, and when he tried the drums he knew instantly what he was going to do with his life. Daniel started to take drum lessons after four years of self-studying and started his first band called Afterglow. After studying music in high school he studied arranging and sound engineering at Stockholm music conservatory.
