Daniel Lindenblatt

Daniel is a musician and cultural manager. It became apparent early on that he is passionate about being on stage but also likes to pull the strings behind the scenes. After his studies in musicology he started his own business, played shows as a musician in front of 10-10,000 music enthusiasts, in the orchestra pit of Berlin theaters or on small stages with musical readings. As a sideman on the guitar, he continues to travel a lot and enjoys being involved in various pop projects: sometimes as a producer, sometimes as an arranger, musical director or cowriter. In January 2022, thanks to the Neustart Kultur grant, he was able to record his own and independent artistic creation in the form of a live studio session in sound and vision. The practical experience as a musician proved to be an ideal complement to his work as a cultural manager. As an "enabler" of culture, he has managed non-profit youth music projects as well as vernissages or orchestral productions at the Elbphilharmonie. One of his most important management activities was his work as artist manager for the multi-award-winning jazz drummer and composer Diego Pinera, which lasted almost 10 years. The highlight of this collaboration was certainly the awarding of the ECHO Jazz and the nomination as Grammy Nominee. Daniel was allowed to supervise various international high-profile productions for Diego Pinera over the years. Their common professional path ended in 2020 in best friendship. In order to put the finishing touches on his professional experience gathered from 15 years, he completed an additional degree in cultural management in 2019. He is currently organizing the Berlin Jazztreff on behalf of the Landesmusikrat Berlin for the sixth year in a row and is involved in the development of a complementary service, the Brexit Infopoint, as part of the Touring Artists advisory network since August 2022.
