Daniel Victor (born September 20, 1979) is a Canadian recording artist and producer from Windsor, Ontario, best known for the collaborative music project Neverending White Lights,[1] which features instrumentation performed mostly by Victor, with guest singers providing vocals for most of the songs.
During this period, he moved from working in bands to multitracking in the studio, producing early versions of songs that would later appear on his debut album, Act 1: Goodbye Friends of the Heavenly Bodies.
After graduating, Victor devoted himself full-time to the project, named Neverending White Lights, intended as a metaphor for human energy.
For other collaborations on the first album, Victor worked with vocalists from bands including 311, Ours, Hum, Finger Eleven, Shudder to Think, the Velvet Teen, Our Lady Peace, Age of Electric, the Watchmen, the Black Maria, Creeper Lagoon, Starflyer 59, City and Colour, Deckard, Supergarage, Evelynn, and Cirrus.
The album featured members of groups including Aqualung, The Raveonettes, Mobile, Catherine Wheel, Auf der Maur, Hawksley Workman, Magneta Lane, Mellowdrone, and Ours.
Victor eventually wrote and recorded nearly seventy songs, but when he had a 'finished' copy in his hands after several years, decided it was unworthy of release, and returned to the studio to start from scratch.
On September 21, 2010, Victor leaked a song from the album, entitled "The Lonely War", featuring Evan Konrad of Bed of Stars.
He also announced that due to difficulties with a rupture in his vocal cords, the official release date of the album was delayed from 2009 to late 2011.
In 2018, Victor stated he was working on the fourth Neverending White Lights studio album, following a nearly ten-year break due to mental health issues.
In November 2012, Victor collaborated with Juno-nominated Canadian rapper D-Sisive on the track "Don't Turn the Lights Out".
