Music Always First
Daley didn’t start out with the aim of becoming an expert in some obscure field of study. Right from the beginning he wanted to make music.
“I first started playing in a duo in New York. I must have been 13 or 14 years old,” Daley recalled.

The start of his Tibetan studies luckily coincided with the beginning of the county’s conflict with China and the closing of its borders.
Burning Both Ends
