Daniel Wilson is an American singer, songwriter and record producer from Ypsilanti, Michigan, United States.
In 2016, he contributed with The Weeknd in co-writing and producing "Sidewalks", featuring vocals from Kendrick Lamar, which appears in his third album, entitled Starboy.
He has also worked with notable artists, producers and musicians such as Miguel, Twin Shadow, Joe Goddard, ZHU, DJ Dahi, Leo Abrahams among many others.
[2] His first solo compositions came to life in 2008[2] using his mother's old tape recorder and, eventually, switching to cheap computer software.
Wilson's music can be described as a sort of "indie-ish synthetic R&B, in parts electronic and ecclesiastic",[1] while his particular crooning skills grant him a "rare, elastic falsetto".
