Daniel Angelus(II)
- Composer

- Producer
Daniel Angelus is a British born musician - a singer, songwriter, and music producer - who creates, since 2007, melodramatic cinematic pop and rock.
A self-described recluse, Daniel began making music after a difficult and traumatic childhood, using it as a form of therapy. What began as bedroom music has, since 2007, transformed into an incredible career in its own right. Daniel has performed live in the UK, Europe, and North America - building a dedicated following of his music projects - and music is now his full-time job. His sound is unique, built on "the frailties and wonderment of human life". There's real grit beneath the surface that only comes from lived experience, and which translates into the fullness of the music - "it's the colours of your mind; it's the pictures lost in time."
After quietly releasing his debut LP 'Miracle Dark' in 2016, Daniel released 'Wired for Heartbreak' in February 2018 - and followers gathered. A powerful album with a strong narrative, both within each song and as a cohesive thread throughout, Wired for Heartbreak is a standalone work of musical art. A beautifully constructed LP, every space is packed full of emotion but never crowded, and Daniel's reverb-heavy vocals mesh in perfectly. Oft compared to David Bowie, after listening to the engrossing single 'Reflection' (a critical and audience success) it's easy to hear why - but make no mistake, Daniel is his own artist.
Daniel has been getting his music heard by more and more people across the world; ACT I was up first, released in April 2019 to positive critical acclaim, a shimmering and pounding collection of four post-punk tracks with themes of loneliness and anxiety on a backdrop of fast drums, catchy melodies and vulnerable vocals. ACT II followed 14 months later, a dark and melancholic dream-pop record featuring a dreamy cover of U2's 'With or Without You' that once again caught the music worlds attention. Daniel announced that new music would follow in 2021 and beyond.
Daniel Angelus made his film music debut in 2021 crafting the award nominated soundtrack for European film 'The Lights of Dawn' directed by multi-award-winning film director Sadie Duarte.
