Rhett McDaniel(I)
- Visual Effects
In small town Indiana there are not a lot of options for a young boy
not really cut out for farming. So when he heard fellow Hoosier, John
Mellencamp, sing "forget all about that macho s**t and learn how to
play guitar!" that's exactly what he did.
It all began in a small United Methodist church in Waldron, Indiana, Pop. 900. First singing in the church choir, then singing songs for the congregation with his guitar on Sunday mornings,he fell in love with music.
He earned a BS degree in Radio and Television from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana and then went on to get his master's degree from the Indiana University School of music.
Soon after graduating from Ball State, Rhett met screenwriter Tom Barker who was working on the film 'Deadly Discovery' and he wrote incidental music and acted as script supervisor on the project and got his feet wet in the movie business.
After that, Rhett wrote music for several corporate video projects and was commissioned to write music for special events though his true love was writing country songs.
After years of writing and playing music in Indianapolis, he packed up and moved to Nashville TN where he currently resides and writes songs for Canzonet Publishing.
