:: bio ::                                 A violin, piano, guitar, drum, and bass lesson dropout, Daniel Beard finally

                                                              realized that his talent wasn't in playing these instruments, but it was in

                                                              recording them.  Daniel began running sound at his church and gained an

                                                              interest in sound and equipment.  After graduating from high school he

                                                              moved to Florence, Alabama to attend the University of North Alabama where

                                                              he majored in Commercial Music.  While still attending U.N.A. Daniel began

                                                              working part-time with the historic FAME Recording Studios in Muscle Shoals,

                                                              Alabama.  He worked there as an assistant engineer until he graduated from

                                                              college, at which time he was hired on full-time and was promoted to Studio

                                                              Manager and executive assistant.  Daniel has had the opportunity to work with

                                                              artists ranging from classical to rap.  Some of the artists Daniel has worked

                                                              with can be found on the discography page.  In 2005 Daniel decided to leave

                                                              his position at FAME Studios to continue working for his church as the media

                                                              director and to pursue independent engineering and production.  To hear
