To say that Daniel Kessler is the mastermind behind Interpol would be an understatement.  Daniel has been a lover of  music since he was a little  kid  back in England and prior to Interpol he  gained much experience in the music biz by working at record labels such as Jetset, Beggars Banquet  and Domino to name a few. He even worked for a production company. But Daniel formed the band on his own intuitions and not with the help of anyone from these companies. Daniel is one smart kat and he has admitted  to that, “I’ve always felt like the hardest part was the formation of the band, that’s 50 percent of it. After that, a lot of it is hard work and being smart about things”.

Samuel Fogarino on Daniel, “He’s the assigned dedicated worrier for the band. He’s the most motivated person I have ever met in my whole life. That nervous energy has a severe output.”

Don’t be fooled by Daniel’s shyness because he can definitely rock out and sing lovely. He is sincere when you talk to him and interested in what you have to say, probably one of the nicest musicians you could ever meet and the only member of the band who doesn’t smoke!
