Biography - Daniel A. Doss

Born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, Daniel Doss began piano
lessons in 1988 when he was in second grade and has continued to
study piano performance through college. Daniel received his
Bachelor's Degree of Music in Music Composition from the
Conservatory of Music at the University of Missouri Kansas City.

During the college years, Daniel opened The Piano Studio of Daniel A. Doss in
2003, where students of all ages and backgrounds studied with Daniel. More
importantly, the studio allowed Daniel to free up the rest of his schedule to begin
getting involved with various Kansas City theatre companies. Sooner rather than later,
Daniel was bit with the theater bug and dove in head first.

As a composer, Daniel was commissioned to write 4 original musical scores
for local Kansas City theatres, and he continues to compose for musical
theatre with various collaborators. Daniel's musical theatre company, Thin
Air Theatrics, was formed as an avenue to premiere his new musicals in
performances along with works from other composers from around the
world, while also collaborating with local performance groups producing
quality musical theatre productions in the Kansas City metro area.

Currently, Daniel is working as Music Director, Band Leader, Conductor and Pianist
for musical theatre productions from Kansas City to New York. When not in the
theater, Daniel spends his days playing for F.L. Schlagle High School in Kansas City,
Kansas where the choir won a national Gospel choir competition in 2007 and
continues to perform across the nation.
