Cynthia Daniels

Host of Monk Music Radio

Cynthia's career has led her around the world, initially specializing in orchestral pop from Big Band Jazz to Broadway, and then crossing over into producing records for young and seasoned artists in the rock, country, and folk-rock world. In 2002 she won a Grammy Award for recording and mixing The Producers. In 2007 she won an Emmy for composition and music supervision on the longest running daytime series "Guiding Light". And in 2011 she garnered another Grammy for her work on the "Julie Andrews Collection" CD.

Over the last two decades, Cynthia has recorded and mixed and/or produced hundreds of large-scale productions in New York City such Barbara Cook at the Metropolitan Opera House, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, the majority of the City Center's Encore Series' CDs, and over 100 Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. Her work took her to London where she recorded the London Symphony Orchestra with Chaka Khan on her Classikhan CD and concerts at Sadler's Wells Theatre.

With a studio in East Hampton since 1998, Cynthia has become an avid supported of the music and arts community on the East End where she produces and hosts the live monthly radio show "On the Air" at Crossroads and an in depth interview and performance weekly radio show "MonkMusic Radio" featuring the stories and music of local artists broadcast on WPPB FM, the local NPR station.
