Daniel Seavey Wiki Bio
Daniel James Seavey was born in Vancouver, Washington State USA, on 2 April 1999 – his zodiac sign is Aries and he holds American nationality. He’s a singer and a songwriter, who’s probably known best for being a member of the boy band Why Don’t We, together with Corbyn Besson, Jack Avery, Zach Herron, and Jonah Marais.
Early life and education
Daniel was raised in Vancouver alongside his older brothers Tyler and Christian, and his younger sister Anna Seavey by their father Jeffrey and their mother Keri. Their parents prefer to be left out of media but it’s believed that Jeffrey’s a real estate agent and that Keri’s a hairdresser.
Daniel began singing at a very early age, and after his mother realized that he was talented, she enrolled him at a school for the performing arts, and by the time he turned 10, he had learned to play the piano, the guitar, the cello, and the violin. Daniel also entered a couple of talent shows, and occasionally travelled to Portland with his father to play music in the street. During one of these performances, Daniele sang “Someone Like You” by Adele, and according to several sources, over 300 people had gathered to listen to him, and they even stopped the traffic.
Daniel attended a local high school at which he played sports, continued practicing singing, and also acting. Upon matriculating in 2017, he chose not to enroll at college but to focus on his career as a musician.
The launch of his career
Daniel’s career was officially launched in January 2016, when he entered the 14th season of the singing competition show “American Idol”, performing the song “Hallelujah”. During the audition, he met his future bandmate Jack Avery. Daniel reached the top nine singers, but was eliminated on 2 April (his birthday).
He also met the American singer Harry Connick Jr. at the audition, who later invited Daniel to serve as his opening act for his two-week tour. Following this, Daniel began playing at bars and local shows, and also started uploading the videos of his cover songs onto his YouTube channel.
Daniel wasn’t invited to the first meet-up of his future bandmates in Los Angeles; they discussed forming the band, and after Daniel was brought up, they invited him to join the band as well.

The band was officially launched on 27 September 2016, and on 20 October their debut single entitled “Taking You” was released. On 25 November, they released their debut extended play (EP) “Only the Beginning”, which attracted some attention, but didn’t make them popular.

What has also helped the boys become popular was their collaboration with the famous YouTuber Logan Paul, who directed three of their music videos, and also sang the song “Help Me Help You” with them.
The boys’ debut studio album, “8 Letters” was released on 31 August 2018, and in March 2019 they began their “8 Letters Tour”.

Their March song “I Don’t Belong in This Club” was also certified gold, as well as their August song “What Am I”, written by Ed Sheeran.
