"What can I say about Daniel's talent? It's simple, there isn't any part of the business he doesn't know about. And there wouldn't be a Banner Music if Daniel hadn't decided to get busy in the music industry. I just go where he goes and dig in!" -Camilla Kleindienst

Camilla met Derek Toomey in November 2009 at an Atlanta, GA songwriter event. After the event, Derek e-mailed Camilla a few mp3's and asked her to take a listen. Banner Music promptly offered single song contracts on two of the songs and in 2011 signed Derek to Banner Music as a staff songwriter. Camilla has often said Derek's CD is one of her favorites.

Daniel and Camilla have never met Eddie Appnel in person. Because Eddie lives in PA, their entire relationship with Eddie has been over the telephone. But Daniel and Camilla still consider Eddie one of their favorite writer-performers. Through Banner Music efforts, Eddie has had two songs placed in film and one song placed on an independent artist project which sold over 10,000 units. Banner Music consistently hear terrific comments about Eddie's vocals and his songs. Several of his tunes have won or placed in various song competitions. He is currently at work on his first solo CD "Eddie In the Aftermath". www.reverbnation.com/eddieappnel |
