Daniel Dickson was born in Los Angeles, where he spent his early childhood. At the turn of the century, he moved with his family to Washington State, where his parents built a house and immediately started him in private piano lessons. After two years of studies, he began private cello lessons as well, and began playing in a string quartet comprised of all siblings. The quartet, (named the Dickson String Quartet) made a successful name for themselves all across the country, and in 2009, they received a quartet fellowship to study under the Arianna String Quartet at the University of Missouri-St. Louis. During his undergraduate years, Daniel participated in masterclasses for some of the most prestigious musicians of this generation. The following year, 2010, the Dickson String quartet was honored during the 223rd session of Congress, commemorating their excellence in music, and their influence in the community. After graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2013, Daniel taught in the Missouri public school system for a year before applying for graduate programs. In 2014, he was accepted in Boston University’s Master of Music degree. After finishing his first year, he was also accepted into the Master of Music degree as a pianist and studied under Gila Goldstein beginning in the fall of 2015. In the spring of 2016 Daniel graduated with his Master's degree in cello and piano. Currently, he is working on his Doctorate of Musical Arts.
