A graduate of the American Musical and Dramatic Academy, Daniel Shevlin has already amassed some pretty impressive credits, including productions of Evita, Nine, Cabaret, and Hairspray. Additionally, Shevlin is one of the founding members of Well-Strung, a string ensemble that performs a mixture of classical (Mozart, Dvorak) and pop music (Pink, Adele, Britney Spears).
He spends most of his time blending the works of classical, pop-rock and musical theater into his everyday repertoire, be it in a theater, a concert hall or a nightclub. And yes, he really does play the cello and sing at the same time.
When not traveling, NYC is home, though originally born and raised in South Jersey.
