DANIEL PEARSON

About Me

Daniel Pearson has been writing, playing and performing in various rock, punk and indie bands for a decade. He released singles, toured the UK and earned his stripes before going solo in late 2007. The talented and prolific singer-songwriter now trades in timeless, heartfelt and intelligent songs steeped in classic rock n' roll and alt. country, and he is currently one of the top independent acts on MySpace. His charismatic live show and infectious songs are currently winning him new fans every day and his last project, The Blueprint (in which he released a new song online every week for 6 months), gained him local, national and international recognition. In 2008 he recorded sessions for BBC Radio, won XFM Manchester's Music: Response competition and supported US indie stars Rooney on tour.
In the second half of 2008 he fronted Leeds-based rock band All Those Heroes, recording new material and playing live with the band. After a short hiatus, he's now writing and recording new songs for a solo release in summer 2009.
