[edit] Biography
Clint Daniels was born August 24, 1974 in Panama City, Florida, but raised in the Panama City suburb of Lynn Haven. Daniels first gained an interest in music as a child, singing with his sister in church.[2] Inspired by bluegrass music, Daniels taught himself to play guitar at age twelve. After graduating high school, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee in pursuit of a career in country music. By 1998, he was discovered by an A&R staff member from the Arista Nashville label, and was signed to the label that year.[2]
His self-titled debut album was released September 15, 1998. It produced two singles, "A Fool's Progress" and "When I Grow Up," which respectively reached #44 and #53 on the country singles charts. Daniels left Arista shortly afterward, signing to Epic Records in 2003.[3] Although he released a third single, the #56 "The Letter (Almost Home)," he never released an album for Epic and has not recorded since.
Daniels has also co-written songs for other country artists, including the Number One hits "Brokenheartsville" by Joe Nichols[4] and "Roll with Me" by Montgomery Gentry[5] (from 2003 and 2008 respectively), as well as Brooks & Dunn's 2008 single "God Must Be Busy". He also co-wrote two songs that were released in late 2010: Clay Walker's "Where Do I Go from You" and Easton Corbin's "I Can't Love You Back".
