 Daniel
Messina was born on April 9th, 1965 in José
C. Paz, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
At the age of six, he began to play drums and guitar. He learned to play
drums on his own for almost ten years by playing along different records and using
a book by Gene Krupa. His first teacher for about three years was Omar
Belmonte. After that, he studied five year longs with Elias "Chiche" Heger
at the Escuela Nacionál de Batería y Percusión. During that time, he played
in different bands like for example Apertura, Quinteto el Quartetazo
or the Baden Jazz Quartett.
He also wrote a workshop column in the music magazine "El musiquero" from
October 1989 until June
1991.
 At
the age of 26, Daniel Messina emigrated to Germany. He played there in
Real Blues Band, with Yanomani and the Pablo Vázquez Trio.
Since 1993 Daniel Messina is a
drum teacher in the drum department Stuttgart.
An important step in his career is the co-operation with the renowned jazz
Barbara Dennerlein since 1995, with whom
he recorded her current duo CD "Love Letters"
in 2001.
In 1996 he founded the Daniel Messina
Band, which is a continuation of his project with own compositions and arrangements
that he has already started in Argentina in 1989.
In 1999 the CD "Imágenes"
was released.
In january 2001 Daniel Messina
started with his band the concert series "Jazz Edge on Saturday" at Buch Julius
in Stuttgart, which meanwhile has become an in-scene meeting point and which is
already successfully entering upon its second year.
