ARC DE SOLEIL

LA MIRAGE TOUR 2025

Arc De Soleil is one of many monikers of composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Kadawatha. Inspired by his father's love for the Spotnicks and their soaring guitar-driven sound, Daniel grew up hearing his father play their songs on his homemade guitar amp. This early exposure to music shaped Daniel's own musical tastes and influenced his decision to become a musician himself.

For Daniel, creating music for Arc De Soleil was more of a return to something very natural rather than being experimental. He draws on the vintage sound of The Spotnicks and the Shadows, as well as the funk rhythms of Asha Bhosle and contemporary acts like Khruangbin, to create a sound that is uniquely his own. With a focus on strong melodies and stringed instruments like the guitar and sitar, as well as infectious grooves and beats, Arc De Soleil's music is both nostalgic and fresh.

Being a diverse music maker, Daniel has created music in multiple genres, ranging from stripped-back acoustic to futuristic synthwave, and gained over 600 million streams and countless syncs across his different artist profiles. Arc De Soleil is one of these projects and one that lies close to his heart and creative passion.
