  • Daniel Augustin talks life-long friendships through music, working on Rap "Shi!t", and being your own advocate!
    About Daniel:
    Daniel is a Haitian American actor, director, writer, and musician born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. His entertainment journey started with his discovery and passion for music at his parents church. He was a natural, frequenting the control room, where he learned to manage the soundboard and record audio. By age ten, he became a hip-hop recording artist when he took part in forming the gospel rap group, Mav-7. At age 21, he co-produced and recorded his first solo, Neo-Soul, and hip-hop album titled: I'm Sorry 4 the Delay.  
    Eager to learn about the other facets of entertainment, Daniel started his television career working as a production assistant on As Seen On TV. This experience catapulted his passion, interest and excitement for the entertainment industry and he became hungry to take on greater roles. Daniel and his wife/creative partner created a production company, Augustin Productions, where they have produced over five short films and created two digital series, Cake (@cake_theseries), which released on IGTV and Kinfolk (@kinfolktheseries). With these projects, he combined his love and expertise on developing the music, production, editing and directing. His series Kinfolk was widely recognized and selected into Tribeca's 2022 Creator's Market.
    With so much success behind the camera, it's no surprise Daniel is as impressive (not to mention charming) in front of the camera as well! He has been featured on the hit series Grey’s Anatomy and has notable recurring roles on the highly popular spinoff Hulu series How I Met Your Father, alongside Hilary Duff, and Hulu's Wu-Tang: An American Saga. Daniel is most known from his fan-favorite role as Maurice on the HBO Max hit comedy series Rap Sh!t. Maurice is the lead Shawna's (Aida Osman) friend and co-worker at the Miami hotel. Together they start a fraud ring, along the way blurring the lines of friendship and romance. Rap Sh!t, which has an astounding 100% rotten tomatoes score, is an inclusive and inspirational comedy series about two estranged high school friends who through both the dream of trying to become rappers and the need to survive, decide to try to break into the music industry. The series is inspired by the real story of the founding and later success of the rap duo City Girls. 
    Daniels undeniable talent and impression he made on Season 1 landed him as a series regular on Rap Sh!t Season 2, produced by the incomparable Issa Rae (creator of standout comedy series HBO's Insecure). He is excited to show the world what is in store for Maurice in Season 2!
    In his free time Daniel enjoys boxing, playing basketball, creating music, and reading. He is passionate about helping and mentoring aspiring filmmakers in film school and serving his Haitian community in any way he can. Additionally, he wants to spread awareness on the importance of men's health (getting regular check-ups and colonoscopies). Daniel also loves spending time with his wife and furry child Teddy, his spunky golden retriever.
