Dan Queirolo

My name is Dan Queirolo, and I am an artist in the broadest sense of the term.

I was fortunate to be born in Brazil, into a family of circus artists. I was born into the family of the Queirolo Brothers Circus and grew up immersed in art. I was an actor, musician, singer, composer, illustrator, 2D animator, and eventually became a writer. I became a multi-artist and polymath.

Alongside the arts, I became a designer, marketer, entrepreneur, created several businesses, startups, and coworking spaces, worked in large corporations, and tested and experimented with many technologies. I’ve given hundreds of lectures, courses, and workshops. However, it was only recently that I decided to focus and reaffirm my purpose: to create and teach.

In addition, for many years I sang, ministered, and preached in churches all over Brazil, bringing the Word of God wherever I went, in a creative and fun way.

In recent years, I was diagnosed with ADHD, High Abilities, and more recently, with a rare neurodegenerative condition called Spinocerebellar Ataxia 27B, which affects balance, vision, speech, motor coordination, and walking. Since my diagnosis, I have been researching and practicing ways to slow the progression of Ataxia and live well with ADHD. I decided to live my life to the fullest, becoming an avid runner and someone who embraces trying new things every day.
