Unlike much of todayâs music, which glorifies lust over love, Thurston Daniel sings about love in its intended form: Respect, Commitment, Trust and Fidelity. He states Love is about âselflessness, not selfishnessâ.

Thurston Daniel is an accomplished singer and songwriter who has worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry such as Clive Davis (Arista Records, J Records), Kashif (Whitney, Kenny G, Everything Youâd Better Knowâ¦.), multi-platinum producer D-Moet (Nas/Hate Me Now, Foxy Brown) and David "Pic" Conley (Surface/Shower Me With Your Love). He sang background for and shared the stage with such stellar artist as Rueben Studdard, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Kelly Price, Cheryl âSaltâ James, James âD Trainâ Williams, Israel Houghton, Kirk Whalum, and BeBe Winans, just to name a few.

In the early 90âs, after singing acapella for Clive Davis, as part of TuLuce(a 5 man group) Thurston and the group were signed to a development deal with Arista records. After working with a number of producers including Kashif and David âPicâ Conley and recording between 40 to 50 songs without finding that hit that Clive was looking for, the group left Arista. In the following year and a half the group reemerged as a dedicated and powerful duo which included Thurston Daniel and Miran David, the two leaders of the group.

During the period of time between deals the group linked up with the up and coming New Jersey producer D-Moet. At the time he was hovering under the industries radar but he soon became on of the hottest producers in the game with the classic âhate me nowâ track for Nas as well as tracks for Foxxy Brown and others. The group and D-Moet quickly formed a bond and practically lived in the studio. For weeks the two would record through the night and leave for the nearly 2 hour drive from New Jersey to their respective 9 to 5âs.

To make a name for themselves, the group performed up and down the east coast and for a brief period they worked with the highly respected Angelo Ellerbe, owner of Double Xxposure publicity firm. The group was constantly on the grind, along with their management team headed by Ramona Harper of HP management, looking for any opportunity to create a buzz. Thurston states, âOur big break came when Ramona got one of our songs into regular rotation on one of the major NY radio stations for about a month.â Not long after that, the group was meeting with Richard Nash and Tim Rutherford of Atlantic records and was soon signed to a major recording contract.

TuLuce and D-Moet relocated to Virginia and started recording their debut album for Atlantic. Once again Thurston spent the majority of his time in the studio writing and recording. He got the opportunity to co-write 13 of the 14 tracks on the album. After some record executive changes at the label, the project was shelved and their masterpiece was unreleased. Although disappointed, Thurston was not deterred, he has spent the last few years writing, producing and singing across the country and internationally as well, including performance stints in Italy, Germany and South Africa.

Growing up in the church as the youngest of 9 children, with six older sisters, was also a major factor in molding Thurston the man and the writer. Thurston attributes his dedication and passion for his work to his faith and understanding that singing and songwriting is what he as born to do. He makes music that crosses all borders and genresâ¦music that speaks to the heart of us all.

Thurston is on his way to becoming a household name for his songwriting prowess and vocal abilities.
