From growing up in a small village in Sweden to building a thriving music production business in the U.S., Daniel’s career is shaped by a deep focus on mindset, collaboration, and understanding the music business. His latest release, Sacred Christmas II, reflects this same commitment to excellence and is now available through Uplift Music.What You’ll LearnIn this episode of The Successful Musicians Podcast, Daniel shares how his upbringing in Sweden and his years outside of music helped shape his approach to producing and entrepreneurship. He explains why mindset and business skills matter just as much as musical talent, how working with hobbyist songwriters became a powerful niche, and why building the right team accelerates success. You’ll also hear Daniel’s insights on overcoming self-doubt, investing in yourself, and learning to serve your audience at a higher level as a musician.Things We DiscussedDaniel talks about his journey from studying music in Sweden to stepping away from music for several years before returning with a renewed perspective. He reflects on the importance of understanding the music business, surrounding yourself with people who complement your strengths, and letting go of the belief that you must do everything yourself. The conversation also explores marketing, hiring help, learning through books and podcasts, and why many musicians stall not because of lack of talent, but because of fear, comfort, and mindset barriers.Connect with Daniel BlombergWebsite FacebookInstagramLinkedInConnect with Jason TonioliWebsite FacebookYouTube InstagramSpotifyPandoraAmazon MusicApple Music
