Arc De Soleil, os the project of composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Daniel Kadawatha. The Swedish artist writes, performs, produces, and mixes all of his tracks. Although he plays all of the instruments in his songs, the guitar is his primary tool. A guitarist who draws influence from music his father played growing up, including bands like The Shadows, The Spotnicks, and Dire Straits. Arc De Soleil is hitting the road for a run of North American dates, including performances at Electric Forest Festival and opening for Vulfpeck at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Following his US dates, he will support Leon Bridges at Alexandra Palace Park in London.

Arc De Soleil recently dropped his first new music of 2025 with the new single “Sunchaser” via Maison Records. Kadawatha has increasingly added vocal elements to his music, which in the case of “Sunchaser,” sees him taking lyrical inspiration from a trip to Egypt where he was taken aback by the all-encompassing spiritual power of the sun the same way ancient Egyptians who worshipped Ra must have.

Since 2019, when Kadawatha first released music under the Arc De Soleil moniker, the project has been a hidden gem for music heads, with very little information available about where the music came from. In comment sections and on Reddit threads fans have tried to piece together who this mysterious musician is, and through it all, Kadawatha simply continued to make songs and quietly release them on his own with over three dozen singles and EPs put out including widely-streamed projects such as The Thief in Marrakesh Got Caught in Amsterdam Trying to Escape which plays out like the soundtrack to a 60’s spy movie, and the Thai-influenced psychedelia of Libertalia whose “Mumbo Sugar” recalls Khun Narin Electric Phin Band while earning comparisons to Khruangbin by fans.
