Daniel Waples is a musician who has traveled the world with his hand-pan, producing ethereal, other-worldly sounds. He both describes and performs this steel-drum related instrument in this infectious Talk of a busker in love with his role as an artist. Now with over 30 millions views on YouTube, Daniel Waples has recorded 10 albums to date and performing in almost 50 countries across 6 continents. Waples supports himself as an independent musician, spreading the gospel of the HandPan, an acoustic musical instrument associated with energy work and alternative healing, and one which he hopes will become a Symbol for universal peace and the Inner journeys all people take pursuing their individual Paths. He is currently working very closely alongside the makers of the instruments that he plays. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
