Originally from Yorkshire, Daniel trained in all aspects of Musical Theatre before embarking on an international career performing in musicals, dance shows, television series, and films.

Daniel opened Sharpe Academy in September 2008 as a small, part-time drama school. However, numbers quickly grew, and in 2010, he decided to step away from performing to fully concentrate on building the business. This decision allowed him to grow Sharpe Academy into one of the largest independent performance schools in North West London.
In 2011, Daniel opened Agent Sharpe to assist his students in obtaining professional work. The agency has since grown and now represents an exceptional list of around 75 clients, primarily working in theatre and cruise work. In 2019, Sharpe Academy became a full-time college, offering a 3-year Diploma in Professional Musical Theatre & Acting, as well as a 1-year Post Graduate course.
Daniel prides himself on his work ethic and ensures that his students and clients receive the best support available. Over the years, Daniel has built many contacts within the industry and is one of the only agents in the UK who understands triple-threat performance from three different aspects: performer, principal, and agent. Daniel believes this is a tremendous benefit for his students and clients, and he enjoys nothing more than helping performers reach their full potential.
