Employed primarily as a truck driver, legend has it some of Daniel's work colleagues stole a copy of his record from his locker and finding they liked it, distributed copies of it among their friends. From these origins in Canada, the album traveled by word of mouth to Iceland, where it came to the attention of filmmaker Sara Gunnarsdóttir, whose film has helped to spread Daniel's work globally.
Exact details about the artist are sparse, but there is a growing mythology surrounding his 15 track album of forthright, deeply personal songs; 'The Pirate of Love' is characterized by sparse keyboard based production with occasional guitars and Daniel C's impassioned and ethereal vocal performance.
The lyrics deal frankly with Daniel's apparently unrequited affection for the unknown 'Sherry' and contain downbeat observations on his working life. Daniels honest lyrical style is one of the key reasons behind his growing outsider popularity.
Daniel's identity and current whereabouts, as well as those of Sherry, are currently unknown.
