Daniel Stephen Buchanan

Born and raised in Fresno, California, Daniel was destined to devote his life to music. With a background in Bluegrass and Folk music, Daniel started to find different genres that spoke to him. His love of the symphony led him to learning his first instrument, the violin. Because of his talent, he was accepted into an Arts & Entertainment program at a local school and then when the time was right he auditioned to the Roosevelt School of the Arts and was accepted. It was between the A&E program and the School of Arts that brought him a fascination with guitar and singing. He ended up taking classes in theater, recording arts, song writing, and performance.

Unfortunately, he started getting into a bad crowd and when an opportunity arose for his family to get out of California, he was moved to a small town in Nebraska. But that's where his story truly began...

Daniel had started getting into punk rock and metal, while still keeping his love of Bluegrass and all things 90s. This led to his first band, Backseat Bandit, that was more of a reason to get wasted in the beginning, but eventually he cleaned up off of the drugs and started writing in different genres and performing with other bands. He then started a YouTube channel where he played primarily acoustic covers of popular rock and country songs.

Some of the bands Daniel has been a part of over the years have been Backseat Bandit, Rude Awakening, Linear Aggression, C4, Left of Lucy, Duplex, and Ember's Light, just to name a few.

In 2023, Daniel found himself without a band once again and started wondering if maybe it was time to throw in the towel. Thankfully he had friends and family who pushed him to think about transitioning to a solo project instead.

So here we are.

So far one track has been released with about five in the final stages of recording. The time is coming for his first full length release. The question is, are you all ready to hear it?
