Daniël Sahuleka (born 6 December 1950)[1] is an Indonesian-Dutch singer-songwriter and performing artist.
Sahuleka created more than 110 compositions. Daniel owns all copyright of his songs. Many of his songs have become evergreen hits, such as "You Make My World So Colourful" from the album Daniel Sahuleka (1977)[1] and "Don't Sleep Away the Night" (1980).[1]
In the early 1980s, Daniel's hits were "Wake Up" and "We'll Go Out Tonight". In 1993 Daniel's new hit was "I Adore You" and in 2007 he got a new hit with the song "If I Didn't". In 2009 he re-made new recordings of "You Make My World So Colourful" and "Don't Sleep Away" for his album "reMAKE mySTYLE" (iTUNES and physical album). In 1982 Daniel Sahuleka was greatly admired in Europe as vocalist of the song "Giddyap a Gogo",[2] composed by Ad Visser, and the single reached the Dutch Top 40.
