Born in Böblingen in 1974, pianist Daniel Röhm began playing the piano at the age of three. After receiving private lessons from Paul Buck in Stuttgart, he continued his training at the Lübeck University of Music with Konrad Elser and then at the Munich University of Music and Performing Arts with Gerhard Oppitz.

Daniel Röhm has received numerous awards, including at the Maria Canals International Piano Competition in Barcelona, the International Franz Liszt Competition in Weimar, the Wartburg Piano Competition in Eisenach, the Lions Clubs International Piano Competition and the Possehl Competition in Lübeck. He received the Mozart Foundation Prize in Stuttgart and twice the Prize of the German Musicians' Association Baden-Württemberg. He received scholarships from the Marie-Luise Imbusch Foundation, the Richard Wagner Association, the Jürgen Ponto Foundation and the Friedrich Jürgen Sellheim Foundation in Hanover.

Röhm's discography includes recordings of works by Schubert (Gen 03015) and Schubert-Liszt (Gen 04044) on the Genuin label, as well as piano works by Ernst von Dohnanyi on the cpo label. His debut CD recording of late piano sonatas by Franz Schubert was awarded the Supersonic Award (Pizzicato Luxembourg) and received high praise from the international trade press. Daniel Röhm has produced radio and television productions as a soloist, chamber musician and song accompanist for NDR, SWR, MDR, Deutschlandradio Berlin and Bayerischer Rundfunk, as well as the Norwegian broadcaster NRK klassisk.

Since his youth, Röhm has devoted himself to chamber music with particular passion. His partners include renowned musicians such as cellists Daniel Müller-Schott, Julian Steckel and Wen-Sinn Yang.

In addition to his solo and chamber music activities, Daniel Röhm also devotes himself to the song repertoire. He has worked with singers such as soprano Michaela Kaune and tenors Roberto Sacca and James Wagner, among others. With soprano Line Jørgensen, he has produced songs by Norwegian composers such as Agathe Backer Grøndahl, Signe Lund, Mon Schjelderup and Fredrikke Egeberg for Norwegian radio station NRK klassisk.

Concert appearances have taken him to renowned venues such as the Palau de la Música Catalana, the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, the Liederhalle Stuttgart, the Herkulessaal Munich and the ‘Glocke’ Bremen, as well as to festivals such as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival, the Stavanger Chamber Music Festival, the Festival Liszt en Provence, the Oberstdorfer Musiksommer, the Brahms Festival Lübeck and the Youth Art Festival Hong Kong.

As a soloist, Röhm has performed with the Stuttgart Philharmonic, the Staatskapelle Weimar, the Northwest German Philharmonic, the Württemberg Philharmonic Reutlingen, the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn, the Sinfonietta Cologne and the Suk Chamber Orchestra, among others. He has worked with conductors such as Ruben Gazarian, Jac van Steen, Gabriel Feltz, Alastair Willis, Pavel Baleff and Gheorghe Costin.

In May 2015, Röhm attracted particular attention when he stepped in at short notice to perform Johannes Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2 in a concert with the Staatskapelle Weimar – just five hours after being asked.

Daniel Röhm pays particular attention to rarely performed repertoire. For SWR Stuttgart and Deutschlandradio Berlin, he produced the first recordings of piano works by Brahms' contemporary Theodor Kirchner – including arrangements of the Liebeslieder-Walzer, Zigeunerlieder and the Variations on a Theme by Schumann, Op. 23.

From 2008 to 2012, he taught as a substitute professor at the University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar, then in 2012 as a visiting professor of piano at Pyeongtaek University in South Korea, and from 2013 to 2014 as a visiting professor at the renowned Yonsei University in Seoul.

In 2014, Daniel Röhm accepted a position as professor of piano and piano chamber music at the University of Stavanger (Norway), where he worked for over a decade and led numerous students to national and international success. In July 2025, he concluded this teaching position in order to devote himself to new artistic and educational projects in his native Germany.

In 2019, Röhm founded the pre-college ‘Röhm Academy Stuttgart’, which prepares young musicians specifically for entrance exams at music colleges and has an international focus.
