Biography Growing up "on a diet of gospel, Christian music, musicals and '90s MTV", Daniel Wilson started his musical trajectory at the age of 13 in a gospel choir. His first solo compositions came to life in 2008 using his mother’s oldtape recorder and, eventually, switching to cheap computer software.The artist was signed by London based music label Zap Records in 2013. Music Wilson’s music can be described as a sort of ”indie-ish synthetic R&B, in parts electronic and ecclesiastic”, while his particular crooning skills grant him a “rare, elastic falsetto”. Musical influences range from Michael and Janet Jackson, Prince, Mariah Carey, and gospel music, and his music can be compared to those recorded by acts including Blood Orange, Bloc Party, and TV on the Radio.
