# Professional Bio of Daniel G. Danielson
Daniel G. Danielson is a distinguished American talent, screenwriter, and content creator whose artistic journey weaves a rich tapestry of cultural narratives, personal history, and cinematic brilliance. Renowned for his compelling storytelling, he gained acclaim for writing and directing the powerful civil rights biopic *Black Privilege. White Power*, a work that resonates deeply with audiences and critics alike, illuminating the complexities of race and identity in America.
His body of work extends beyond the director's chair; Daniel has made notable appearances in several television and film productions, including prominent roles in *Fallout*, *Full Circle*, *Law and Order*, and *Presence*. His versatility as an actor complements his prowess behind the camera, allowing him to navigate the intricate worlds of both performance and storytelling with finesse.
Daniel's creative journey took flight with his writer/directorial debut in the award-winning six-part mini-series *Mr. and Mrs. Jackson*, a heartfelt collaboration with his then-fiancée, now wife, Josie Webb-Danielson. Their shared passion for storytelling ignited on the set of *Blue Bloods* (CBS), where their connection blossomed into a lifelong partnership. The couple celebrated their love with a picturesque wedding in Central Park, New York City, on Daniel's birthday in September 2019, marking a beautiful intersection of love and creativity.
A proud graduate of the Institute of Audio Research in Greenwich Village, NYC, Daniel laid the groundwork for his multifaceted career in 1995. His pivotal experiences during the "Golden Era" of Hip-Hop in the late 1990s led him to establish *DFC Entertainment*, a record label through which he produced and released two notable 12" vinyl singles, "Ladies and Gentlemen" and "My Life." This foray into the music industry paved the way for his subsequent studies in Media Production at The University of Hartford, where he hosted the college radio show *Hip-Hop 101*, cultivating a voice that would echo through his future artistic endeavors.
Daniel's life experiences are as layered as his artistic expressions. A product of interracial adoption, he was raised on a small farm in Connecticut, surrounded by an all-white family. This unique upbringing, combined with the dangerous real-life challenges he encountered, intricately shaped his perspective and creativity. The influence of his aunt, Posy Lombard-who stood alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement-served as a powerful catalyst for his artistry. Her unwavering commitment to justice and equality informed the narrative depth of his first feature-length screenplay, *Black Privilege. White Power*, and continues to inspire his work.
Beyond his film and theatre endeavors, Daniel's passion for American culture shines through in his love for baseball. An avid fan, he and his friends embark on cross-country adventures, visiting each Major League Baseball stadium along the way. His personal favorite, Busch Stadium in St. Louis, captures his heart, although he holds Wrigley-Ville in incredible esteem for its historical charm and vibrant atmosphere.
Adding to his theatrical accomplishments, Daniel portrayed the iconic Satchel Paige in the award-winning play *Josh the Black Babe Ruth* at Theater For The New City, located in NYC's Lower East Side. This role further solidified his commitment to exploring the intersections of race, culture, and history through performance art.

With a relentless drive to tell stories that matter, he continues to forge his path in the arts, leaving an indelible mark on all who encounter his work.
