BIO
Singer / Songwriter / Entertainer Daniel Childs calls the Florida Gulf Coast home, performing over 250 live shows per year across the Sunshine State. Childs is known nationally for his dynamic guitar playing, soul-felt singing, and indigenous songwriting - all of which have become iconic on the state's Sun Coast.
Having toured the breadth of the United States in concert before moving to Florida, Childs has graced the stages of prestigious venues such as the Bluebird Cafe (Nashville, TN), the Gaylord Opryland Hotel & Convention Center (Nashville, TN), Puckett's Grocery (Franklin, TN), Elvis Presley's Graceland (Memphis, TN), Bridge Street Town Centre (Huntsville, AL), The Grand Theatre (Rocky Ford, CO), Pioneer Square (Seattle, WA) and hundreds of others.
Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Childs was born into a music-industry family and raised watching his father perform for festivals, corporate events, and large ticketed concerts. In his younger years, Daniel was mentored by expert entertainers as he honed his own craft.
After spending several years on the road, Childs relocated to the Tampa Bay Area in 2014. Since that time, he has performed for hundreds of festivals and venues, including the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino (Tampa, Florida), Ulele (Tampa, FL), the Tampa EDITION (Tampa, FL), the John's Pass Seafood Festival (Madeira Beach, FL), the Orange County Convention Center (Orlando, FL), the Will McLean Music Festival (Brooksville, FL), Palm Pavilion (Clearwater Beach, FL), Sirata Beach Resort (St. Pete Beach, FL), the Gulf Beaches Rotary Spring Break Festival (Madeira Beach, FL) and many others.
Daniel's debut album, "Escape" was released in 2021 to much fan acclaim. Since that time, the album has been streamed all over the United States and abroad. This beach-inspired collection of songs sports entertaining anthems like "Quit My Job", as well as touching songs like "Sanibel Day" - a tribute to life on Florida’s Sanibel Island. Another song from this project, "Siesta Key” went on to win 1st place in the 2023 Will McLean Best New Florida Song Contest.
As an entertainer, Daniel Childs wows audiences with fresh renditions of many classic hit songs spanning the 70's, 80's, 90's and early 2000's. Noting that there’s “something for everyone” in his live set, Daniel incorporates tasteful selections from genres such as Classic Rock, Country, Pop, R&B and more. Solo, Childs skillfully utilizes a looper pedal to enhance his act, charming listeners with acoustic soundscapes and powerhouse vocals. His trio, The Daniel Childs Band, is a tight, rhythmic group that brings Daniel's already-impressive live show experience into a whole new dimension of musicality and entertainment.
