Born & breed in the cosmopolitan city of Nairobi, Kenya, Daniel D'uwa was bitten by the writing bug at an early age. At 13 he started writing poetry and become a published poet at 15!
While most teens were toiling finishing homework, kicking balls & playing spin a bottle, Daniel was burning the proverbial midnight oil writing poetry. By 18, he was concentrating on the vibrant entertainment scene in the cities & towns within Kenya.
The music & arts are very close to him, and he is a founding member of the annual music festival Kenya Music Week. With an emerging & dynamic media scene developing, Daniel wanted to journey his storytelling from text to television by directing Krazie Kenyans, a popular hidden camera comedy show on Citizen TV. The show becomes one of the biggest & most followed.
The ever-changing market & technology brought his way some excitement when in the middle of a shoot, the film cameras crushed & he had to complete the project on a mobile phone camera. This was to usher in a new era of experimentation finding means & ways to use a mobile phone.
Four years into it, Daniel has shot amazing projects little of which scream mobile at a glance. Unless prior notified, there are times when the difference between his mobile project & film project is unnoticeable. He insists that a lot of work still remains to get mobile filming up to par, but he sees it as an 'awesome' avenue for everybody to tell their stories.
Daniel was featured in a short Hollywood limited release movie called The Africa Plan. When he is not telling stories, Daniel likes to hide in far-flung places off the grid in the obscurity of the Rift Valley or let his hair down and enjoy the city.
