TV LD John “JD” Daniels has been given the keys to some pretty impressive lighting gigs, including the Latin Billboard Awards and Latin AMA’s. Along with the never-to-be-underestimated importance of the ability to get along with others and schmooze, he credits his success to giving 100 percent to the job at hand – which starts with the ability to focus. “There’s a lot going on when working on a show, and you really have to cut through all the noise. There are all these extraneous distractions that come with our business, but at the end of the day, the light has to fade up and it has to be right. It has to be what the client wants.”
