Daniel has helped numerous individuals turn their passions into businesses, find life-changing solutions, and pursue their education.

Originally a Yorkshireman – born and partially ill-bred in Halifax - but now a Londoner,  I was supposed to be an historian like my father, E.P. Thompson. At least, that’s what I studied in Oxford back in the days of flares, prog rock and visions of a better world. Maybe I would have been had I spent less time touring with bands and more time submerged in my studies. But music won and the 1970’s were spent as a session musician and running an international tour production company. Fate intervened once more in 1980 and a period spent managing Roy Harper and launching his record label (funded by Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, Dave Gilmour and Robert Plant) were followed by a decade at the sharp end of what was then a record industry, managing successful bands and record producers and doing A+R consultancy for the likes of A+M, CBS, MCA, JVC Victor (Japan), JIVE and others.

Like many music professionals, part of my accreditation was a classic industry rip-off, leading to a nasty legal quagmire feathering the nests of slick lawyers and an accompanying disillusionment with the record industry, but not with music. Refocused if not yet entirely re-energised, I returned to recording my own music in the early 1990’s, and as so often in my past, an accidental adjunct to the main event turned into the main event itself.

A musical Gorgon with five heads, my studio supply and consultancy company, Funky Junk Limited, operated from London, Paris, Milan, Rome and Vigo, Spain, meaning (if nothing else) that I enjoyed the occasional good meal and frequent good company. One thing is for sure, though . . . a life of accidental twists and turns holds other unexpected adventures in store. At least, I sincerely hope so.

Having recently sold Funky, I now spend my time writing Eccentric fiction - my passion for the past two decades.

I am the Author of JUSTIFICATION OF AN INSURRECTIONIST.  This highly, intense, fictional read portrays a corrupt justice system, racism and prejudices of many walks of life.  From the color of ones skin, race, religion, ethnicity and our LGBTQ+ community.  This heartfelt emotional read exposes the ignorance of those who feel they are superior and privileged, above the law due to the protection of their complexion.  It also portrays positive resilience to change such hateful, ignorance.  To end dividedness, unite together and prevail.

I write stuff.

Mostly romance with sub-genres such as action/adventure, drama, paranormal, and thrillers. Additionally, I have one non-fiction work. My fictional series remain in Amazon Bestselling categories and some have been featured (as well as one recommended) by USA Today.

Birmingham UK born now residing in London UK Daniel Mendes is a professional boxer whose intellect and depth is not confined to the ropes of the squared circle. Long before he was to hear the ring of the opening bell, as an amatuer or professionally boxer he battled with his most consistent opponent, himself, life and the arsenal that came his way. Daniel found comfort and solidarity in Poetry, which accompanied him into a top 10 ranking of professional boxers in the UK and a Southern Area Title.

"Everything I write is from the heart. I write about the things I believe in and stand for," he says.

"If you inhale and exhale there is something in this book for you" Daniel boldly promises. Aside from exchanging venomous punches and penning his passions and experiences Mr Mendes manages to work full-time as a behaviour mentor for teenagers who are excluded or on the verge of exclusion from mainstream education. Ironic as Daniel himself found himself permanently excluded.

Daniel also believes that his experiences have a lot to teach any of us who are in danger of feeling overwhelmed by the challenges we face.

There were certain points on this journey where, like most, my mental health has been tested but I did not express this to family. Instead, I found a way to remedy my emotional conflicts by myself, through poetry. Self-expression is essential for one's own wellbeing and in this current climate where we are becoming increasingly aware of Mental health, I believe that expressive forms such as poetry, have the power to be natural remedies.

He says. "My ambition is to try and inspire as many people as I can. It makes my life worthwhile if I can give others the hope that they can achieve, no matter where they're coming from. That's my short- and my long-term goal."
