Daniel DeBourg is an English pop singer, songwriter, former dancer and model. In 2007, he was a finalist on the fourth UK series of the TV talent show, The X Factor.
[edit] Music career
Although dedicated to dance, DeBourg also had an early interest in singing and was vocalist for several bands during his adolescence. After a knee injury ended his dance career,[1] DeBourg turned his hand to songwriting; recorded by R&B songstress Jamelia in 2000, his song "Money" reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart.[1][2] DeBourg was encouraged by a friend to create several demos of his own singing. These attracted the interest of Dreamworks scout Robbie Robertson. DeBourg was introduced to then in house producers Tim & Bob and subsequently signed to the label and the duo produced his debut album, Tell the World. The high-production album, released in 2002, launched the single "I Need an Angel", which hit #30 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.[3]
In 2007, DeBourg auditioned for the fourth series of The X Factor and reached the final twelve acts to sing in the live rounds of the competition.[1] He was mentored by Louis Walsh, but was eliminated by the public and judges on 27 October 2007.[4]
In 2008, UK artist DJ Ironik presented DeBourg on his new album, No Point In Wasting Tears.[5]
In 2010, The DDB Mixtape Vol 1 'THE PRELUDE', a mixture of de Bourg's most popular covers and original material, received a nomination for 'Best R&B Mixtape 2010' and went on to win the award at the The Official Mixtape Awards in early 2011.[6]
