Daniel Joseph Carnevale was born on the 6th of August, 1970 in the small inner city of Schenectady, New York to Italian parents John Raymond and Carol Ann. Growing up, Daniel was introverted and shy, but while attending St. Luke's Catholic School, he became immersed in music and singing, and truly found his voice. He joined the church choir and glee club, and was front and center in every talent show, holiday pageant, and musical production the school had. Daniel was inspired to continue performing, which came mostly from attending Broadway shows with his Mother and Aunt. It was the magic of being on stage, standing in a spotlight, and having a captive audience that would forever be his passion and motivation to reach for his dreams, and live a true artist's life.
