Daniel Licht grew up in suburban Detroit and attended the Roeper School, as well as summer school at Berklee School of Music in Boston. He started playing music at the age of eight with his first instrument being the clarinet. He took up the guitar four years later. He began his musical career while still in high school playing guitar with a small jazz ensemble at clubs in the area. Following high school graduation, he attended Hampshire College in Massachusetts and graduated in composition, jazz and world music. Licht moved to New York City and established himself as a musical artist in the Lower East Side creative music scene. He would travel to Germany, the Netherlands and Northern Europe to perform and compose music for theatre and dance companies. He created scores for such companies as Mercedes Benz, Sony and AT&T.
He then moved to Los Angeles and pursued a career in film scoring, at the suggestion of his former classmate, Christopher Young. His first major project was the 1991 feature film Children of the Night. His composition earned him his first soundtrack CD release. He soon became spotted by macabre director, Clive Barker and would compose for several of his films.
Licht scored all seasons of Dexter, which he considered to be one of his "more visible projects" but was reluctant to refer to it as his big break.
From 2012 to 2015 he was the main composer of the Silent Hill video game series, replacing Akira Yamaoka, until Konami decided to pull away from the home console video game industry, effectively ending the Silent Hill series. He also composed the soundtrack for the 2012 video game Dishonored and its sequel.

Love Dexter! Always like the blend of high notes and low notes blended nicely. I Was wondering if you could do a tutorial for Peter Sandberg's Motion. It's a shorter piece as well but would be fantastic to hear too.
Fabrizio Caligaris
Thanks John. I took a listen to the song you mentioned, but I don't think the composer would be happy if I will play his song.. I will pass this one for now
John Lang
@Fabrizio Caligaris All good. Thanks for checking into it. Been listening to Peter Sandberg tracks a lot. You've got some great covers too. I'm slowly learning how to play so it's good to hear more experienced players as well.
