Daniel James Seavey (born April 2, 1999) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and multi-instrumentalist. He first gained national attention as a contestant on the 14th season of American Idol in 2015, where he placed in the Top 9.[1] He later rose to prominence as a founding member of the boy band Why Don't We. The band released six extended plays and two albums, both of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart,[2] before going on hiatus in 2022.[3]
Following the group's hiatus, Seavey released his debut single "Can't We Pretend That We're Good" in November 2022.[4][5] In 2023, he embarked on his first headlining tour Introducing Daniel Seavey[6] and released his debut EP, Dancing In The Dark.[7]
In 2024, Seavey released "The Older You Get", the first single from his forthcoming debut album.[8] He also supported Benson Boone on the European leg of Boone's The Fireworks & Rollerblades World Tour in June 2024[9] and is set to support Dean Lewis on Lewis' The Epilogue World Tour in October 2024.[10]
Early Life
Daniel James Seavey was born on April 2, 1999 in Vancouver, Washington,[11] the son of Keri Seavey, a religious writer and speaker, and Jeff Seavey, a Christian church pastor.[12] One of four children, Seavey has three siblings: two older brothers, Christian and Tyler, and a younger sister, Anna.
As a kid, Seavey fell in love with music after he stole his sister's pink toy piano, which he started playing at just four years old.[13] Around the age of seven, inspired by his father's enthusiasm, his interest in perfroming was sparked. The pair started making YouTube videos together and traveling to Portland, Oregon, to perform during the First Thursday art walks. Seavey would busk using equipment from his dad's church, which led to Seavey securing gigs, including playing on the Portland Spirit river cruise vessel.[14] With his busking money, Seavey bought his first guitar and learned to play other instruments like the viola, cello, and violin.[15]
Career
2014-2015: American Idol
In September 2014[16], at the age of 15, Seavey auditioned for the 14th season of American Idol in San Francisco, singing renditions of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and Paula Abdul's "Straight Up" for judges Harry Connick Jr., Jennifer Lopez, and Keith Urban.[17] Seavey advanced to Hollywood week which aired in four parts over two weeks. Contestants participated in three rounds with Seavey performing Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" in the acapella round, One Direction's "Story of My Life" in the group round, and Sheeran's "I See Fire" in the solo round. After Hollywood Week, Seavey again performed Abdul's "Straight Up" in the showcase round in front of a live audience at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.[18] Seavey then progressed to the semifinals, which were filmed at The Fillmore in Detroit, Michigan,[19] as the youngest Top 24 finalist in Idol history.[20] He continued to advance through the rounds, ultimately reaching the Top 9 before being eliminated.[1]
