Daniel John Bashta (born January 1, 1982) is an American contemporary Christian singer and songwriter raised in Reserve, Louisiana.
His song "Like a Lion" became a major Christian Radio hit as "God's Not Dead" for the Newsboys.
[1] Bashta grew up a missionary, traveling the world with his parents, Richard and Susan, who are now pastors at Living Stones Church in Crown Point, Indiana.
He learned how to play guitar, bass, and piano and began to write songs while in Russia between 12 and 16 years of age.
Returning to the studio for a second album, Bashta embarked on a journey to create something a bit different than his last work.
