Arc De Soleil

Arc De Soleil is one of many monikers of composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Kadawatha. Inspired by his father's love for the Spotnicks and their soaring guitar-driven sound, Daniel grew up hearing his father play their songs on his homemade guitar amp. This early exposure to music shaped Daniel's own musical tastes and influenced his decision to become a musician himself.

For Daniel, creating music for Arc De Soleil was more of a return to something very natural rather than being experimental. He draws on the vintage sound of the Spotnicks and the Shadows, as well as the funk rhythms of Asha Bhosle and contemporary acts like Khruangbin, to create a sound that is uniquely his own. With a focus on strong melodies and stringed instruments like the guitar and sitar, as well as infectious grooves and beats, Arc De Soleil's music is both nostalgic and fresh.

Whether working on his own compositions or collaborating with other artists, Daniel brings a passion and dedication to his music that is evident in every note. With Arc De Soleil, he has created a musical project that is as captivating as it is personal.
