Daniel had an interest in music from an early age, and played the guitar, piano, violin and cello by the time he was ten years old; he used to play music and sing on the street with his father, and often his singing would attract many people to stop and listen to his performance.
He attended Union High School, but upon matriculating in 2017, he didn’t enroll at college, but pursued his musical career.
Career
Daniel first appearance as a musician was in 2015 – in the fourteenth season of the show “American Idol”, he sang the song “Hallelujah”, and during the competition became one of the favorites of both the judges and the public; he advanced onto the Top 16, and then the Top 12 with the song “Straight Up” by Paula Abdul, which he sang three times, however, he was eliminated during Top 9 on 1 April 2015, just a day before his sixteenth birthday.
This was hard for Daniel, and he thought that his music career was over, but thanks to his family support, he started uploading videos onto his YouTube channel which featured him singing and playing various instruments. Nowadays he has more than 200,000 subscribers on his channel, and all of his videos combined have gained over 6.3 million views.
His popularity grew from 2016, when he joined the band Why Don’t We, and with only 12 posts on his Instagram account, he has more than two million followers. He started living with his fellows in Los Angeles, California, and traveled on tours around the US so everything seemed to be great, however, Daniel revealed the truth about his life with the band, stating ‘we eventually become prisoners in the “Why Don’t We compound” under the supervision of one of our managers at Signature Entertainment Partners.’
He talked about how they were locked away, and food was restricted to the point that some members had to sneak in food and hide it; they weren’t allowed to contact their family and friends when they wanted to, he spoke about how they were verbally berated almost every day, and they thought that this was normal for every artist who wants to succeed. Eventually, they decided to tell all of this, and to find a way to solve these problems with the management.
Why Don’t We band had numerous nominations, and won Teen Choice Award for Best Music Group in 2019, they are still very popular mostly among teenagers, their Instagram account has amassed over 2.3 million followers.
