{{quote|''"Well, I have different voices that I like to use, because sometimes I sing kinda quiet, and then sometimes I sing real loud, and sometimes I sing real high, right? Like a little child, because I like to sing in the range where children can sing... And that's because I like to sing in a way that, um, I imagine my heart is singing, right... And so we're all singing together as children. But I can't sing low. That's something I never do."''|'''Daniel Smith''', answering the question, [http://danielson.info/site/index.php/about/ "Why do you sing like that?"]}}
Line 6:
Danielson is a [[Folk Music|Folk]]-[[Baroque Pop|Baroque]]-Gospel ensemble, noted for a unique sound centered around frontman Daniel Smith's [[Love It or Hate It|very high-pitched vocals]].
Daniel Smith was raised in a family of musicians -- his dad, Lenny, has about 180 songs to his name, including the one hit "Our God Reigns". In college Daniel began rebelling against his upbringing--then had a spiritual reawakening in his senior year and pulled a 180. This reawakening inspired him to write a group of songs, for which he recruited his siblings and friends to help him perform. He called the project Danielson to signify his newfound realization that all believers are sons and daughters of God. In 1994, Daniel submitted the recorded album as his senior thesis; he received an A. Then he got a recording deal and never looked back.
Since then, Danielson has earned attention for their bizarre sound (did we mention how high Daniel Smith's singing voice is?) and their just-as-strange stage presence. Members of the band initially performed in nurse's uniforms, to symbolize the healing power of music. For a period, they played in choir robes and chain mail (to symbolize royalty) but soon even Daniel agreed that these looked ridiculous. For solo shows, Daniel would dress up as a tree bearing "the fruit of the Spirit". Since 2006, the band has been wearing custom uniforms, meant to look like a cross between the service industry and the scouts.
