Daniel Jimenez Afanador is a Colombian-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter, composer, and producer known for his versatility, artistic integrity, and strong work ethic. His work moves fluidly between the rhythms of his native Colombia, emotionally driven songwriting, electronic sound design, and full orchestral composition.

As a producer and songwriter, Daniel has worked with artists including Becky G, Andy Allo, and Fruko y sus Tesos, among others. He composed the score for Demi’s Panic, a short film by Oscar-nominated animator Bill Plympton, which was long-listed for the Academy Awards. His score earned him a Reel Change Film Fund grant from New Music USA and composer Christoph Beck.

Daniel’s composition, production, and orchestration work on trailers for Sony Pictures have received both a Clio Award and a Telly Gold Award for Craft Use of Music. In 2019, he co-wrote the opening theme for the Sony Pictures Television series El Barón.
