Born in Pittsburgh and raised outside of Washington, D.C. in Rockville, Md, Daniel Cohen grew up dreaming of becoming a football star.  When that quickly proved to be unrealistic, he turned to a newfound love of singing and musical theater.  He began performing in productions both at his high school and at the local Musical Theater Center, where he was also a member of the elite Young Americans of Washington ensemble.  College took him to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill while his theater education continued  during summers at the prestigious Broadway Theater Project under the leadership of Anne Reinking. In his senior year he began his professional acting career in a series of musicals at the North Carolina Theatre in Raleigh.

Following graduation, Daniel moved to New York City to begin acting full-time.  His career has included two national tours, shows at many top regional theaters, and most notably a role in the world premier musical Meet John Doe, performed at historic Ford’s Theater in Washington, D.C. An accomplished musical theater performer and tap dancer, Daniel is also a trained lyric tenor with easy high extension and a large operatic repertoire in Italian, French, and German.'
