Daniel Kingsbury is a 21-year old singer/songwriter with over 175 songs to his credit. His catchy melodies have been considered uplifting, soothing, and haunting and his style can be described as folksy, contemporary acoustic pop. Daniel’s poetic lyrics are threaded with the ocean and mountains of the West Coast landscape and are both profound and thought-provoking. Daniel’s deep, smooth and soulful singing and precise guitar playing are signatures of his sound.



The songs are fresh and new, timely and well-crafted, written in a very “strong on the basics’ storytelling style, deeply rooted in the best of the folk music tradition. His gift is making the unfamiliar sound familiar as if the song you’re listening to is an old favorite, even though you’re hearing it for the first time. Each song has distinct characters and messages and each song has a unique voice.



Daniel has performed in San Francisco, Toronto, Australia, Thailand and at countless venues in southwestern British Columbia. He made his first demo CD in 2004 and released his debut album "Caravan of Time" in 2007. His latest work, "Where The Mountains Touch The Sea EP" was released in the summer of 2008.



Daniel’s musical talents and community involvement have been recognized in the form of numerous scholarships. In his last year of high school, Daniel was the inspiration behind a very special project where he encouraged and mentored Grade 12 musicians to participate in a recording for the label he spearheaded, Waking Life Records. Daniel produced a double-disc CD of original music, “Waking Life”, which was written, performed and recorded by the students. Within four months, $8000 was raised from album sales and promotional concerts. The money was donated to the Sunshine Coast Community Services Society to go towards music programming for youth.



In addition to his passion for music, Daniel is an accomplished filmmaker, having won the award for Best Film on Mountain Sports at the 2002 Banff Mountain Film Festival, for his film “The Essence of Adolescence.” He was 15 at the time and the youngest filmmaker ever, to have won an award at this international festival.
