The rolling hills, lush forests, and tranquil lakes became the backdrop—and inspiration—for his evolving musical story. His journey began with a gift: a pair of drumsticks from his father, who also served as his mentor.

This is why  Daniel Jorgensen’s work, especially under the Carinthia name, is so often used for film, wellness, and meditation. His music creates room for people to feel.
