Born December 6, 1950 in Semarang, Indonesia, Daniel Sahuleka and his parents moved to the Netherlands after his birth. Daniels father, an Ambonese, was born in Saparua but raised while his mother Juarsi Mohanab, a Sundanese-Chinese, was born in Pontianak.
As a young child, Daniel started playing guitar and his love of guitar remained with him well into his teenage years. After discovering his potential for composing, he offered several of his songs to a music company, beginning with his first contract at Polydor Records in 1975. His first album Sahuleka –1 was released in 1977 in Europe, with his hit single You Make My World So Colourful becoming a major success.
His second album Sahuleka –2 followed in 1978 and Daniel became known in Indonesia two years later. Music lovers in Indonesia grew to love the songs You Make My World So Colourful and Don’t Sleep Away the Night, with the latter song becoming a number one hit in Asia.
Although Daniel is a Dutch citizen, he never forgot his homeland, Indonesia and fans continue to adore and admire him throughout the archipelago. In an age when most musicians retire, Daniel shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to spread the message of love, peace and harmony through his songs, particularly his album If I Didn’t.
Daniel continues to receive invitations to sing at concerts for his fans in Indonesia, radio and television appearances in Europe. Shortly after his concert performance at Java Jazz 2006, the mayor of Jakarta Sutiyoso awarded Daniel with the honor of Tourism Ambassador of Jakarta and he became Citizen of Honour of Jakarta during his second performance at JJF 2006.
The Indonesian Association of Musicians, Composers and Arrangers (Pappri) awarded Daniel with the Highest Music Award in June 2006 for his great contribution in Asia.
Talented artist and citizen of the world, Daniel Sahuleka is ready to surprise his fans again with his latest album If I Didn’t in an already successful music career that spans over 25 years. With the release of this new album, the year 2007 is going to be another big year for Daniel.
