NAME: Daniel Mouton
BORN: Stockholm, Sweden 1976.
INSTRUMENT: Drums and cymbals.
CIVIL STATUS: Single and looking.
FAVOURITE BOOK:The obvious choice here is of course the Bible but I have rencently read two books by A.W. Tozer called Pursuit of God and The Best of A.W. Tozer, I can surely recommend these books.
FAVOURITE FOOD:Burgers and Pizza is always great but grandma's meatballs is a favourite!
FAVOURITE MOVIE:That's a tough one, but I know two movies that I really liked: Dead Man Walking and Braveheart.
WHAT DO YOU DO IN YOUR SPARETIME:I write songs, work with my computer and since I am single I spend some time finding "the right one".
FAVOURITE MUSIC:I listen to all kinds of music of course metal especially progressive bands like Dream Theater, Fate's Warning but I also like fusion and other types of more "ordinary" music. Sting, Chick Corea, Megadeth, The Corrs is just some of my favourites.
FAVOURITE TV-PROGRAM:When I do watch TV(which is not that often), I watch Seinfeld, ER or a movie, just to relax.
MY BEST QUALITY:I think that I am a quite disciplined guy and I grew up with computers so I like making Homepages like this.
MY WORST QUALITY:I get worried quite easily and that can sometimes be a problem.
MUSICAL INFLUENCES: My favourite drummer is without a doubt Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Eros Ramazotti, fusion drummer), so I guess you could hear elements from his playing in mine. As far as writing I'm influenced by all kinds of artists like Sting, Toto, Megadeth, Meshuggah, Pantera etc.
HAVE YOU EVER MADE A FOOL OUT OF YOURSELF?:Yeah. But in fact I can't remember a specific situation but in general I'm a cautious guy so I try to have control over every situation.
FAVOURITE BIBLEVERSE:I think that'll be John 3:16 cause it explains why God sacrificed His only son to save us.
WHO IS MICHAEL?:He is a half-crazy but still serious guy that I really appreciate both as a friend and musician. Since he is older than I am I can learn things about life of him and that's really great. He surely is a rocker for Christ. Bless ya brother!
WHO IS FRANK?Frank is a very postive and multitalented norweigian with lot's of good ideas and stuff goin' on in his brain, and when they come out they rock and roll so to speak.
DO YOU HAVE A PET?No, and I don't one either. The closest I come to animals is when I eat them!
GENERAL BACKGROUND:Born and raised in Stockholm (capital of Sweden). Started playing guitar when I was 8 or 9. Started playing drums when I was 15 and I love it!
BEST CONCERT MEMORY:That's a tough one. I can remember one concert though, on a Jazzfestival here in Stockholm, it was the first time I saw Dave Weckl play live, wow what a guy. But there are lot's of great concerts.

HOW DANIEL GOT SAVED...

When I was in fourth grade, there came a new guy to my class. Me and one other guy was kind of like "running the class", no one questioned us. But this new guy was diffrent and I remembered that I didn't like him at all. But one day it went to far. He brought a toy-car to school and I went mad at him and jumped at the car, it fell apart and the guy went mad too so he hit me. Then I kicked him in the stomach so bad that he had to lay down at the nurse's room. That really got me thinking, "What if died or got really bad hurt?". After a few hours his mother came to the school, but she wasn't mad at me strangely enough, she treated me with kindness and respect. I was really shocked, and after a while the other guy came up to me and said:
"Forgive me" I was even more confused buy this behaviour, I should be the one asking for forgiveness. But in that moment we became close friends, and later that same day I invited him to my home. This guy was son to the pastor in the nearby church and I started to join some of the youthgroups and started attending sundayschool. And a time after that I took my own personal step to follow Jesus at a summerconference. God surely has His own funny ways of drawing people to Him. The life with Jesus surely hasn't been easy but it's worth it, just think of eternity He has prepared for us! But the eternal life Jesus has to offer isn't just for some it's for all of us, I deeply wish that you who read this would like to become a christian if you aren't already. There is no person or no material that can compare to Jesus. Bless ya!
