George Bedford Daniel (born 23 March 1990) is a Belgium-born English musician and record producer. He came to prominence as a founding member, principal producer and drummer of the pop rock band the 1975.[1][2][3][4][5][6]
His work with the band made him the recipient of four Brit Awards,[7][8][9] and two Ivor Novello Awards including Songwriter of the Year.[10] He has also been nominated twice for the Mercury Prize,[11][12] and once for the Grammy Awards.[13]
Early life[edit]
Daniel was born in Belgium and spent his early years in the city of Seattle in the United States.[14][15] He then moved to England and spent his formative years in the Cheshire town of Wilmslow, and attended Wilmslow High School.[16] He studied sound design in university.[17]
Career[edit]
Together with schoolmates Matty Healy, Adam Hann and Ross MacDonald, Daniel formed the 1975 in 2002. Healy, who was the original drummer before Daniel took over, described Daniel as a "weird kid" who was "really tall" but "looked about nine and was this odd character,"[14] adding that meeting Daniel "changed his life".[18]
The band covered punk and emo songs before eventually making their own music.[19][20] To keep the band together, Hann, MacDonald and Daniel all went to university in Manchester while Healy briefly attended music school.[21][22] They played gigs and recorded their own music while working as delivery boys at a local Chinese restaurant.[23][15]
The band, then being managed by Jamie Oborne, has remained unsigned despite meeting every major recording label due to their genre-hoping approach. This prompted Oborne to set up his own independent record label – Dirty Hit – and signed the band for 20 pounds.[24]
The band has released four extended plays before releasing their self-titled studio album in 2013.[25] They followed it with I Like It When You Sleep, for You Are So Beautiful yet So Unaware of It (2016), A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships (2018), Notes on a Conditional Form (2020),[26] and Being Funny in a Foreign Language (2022).[27][28] Each of their studio albums reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and garnered critical acclaim.[29]
Daniel, together with bandmate Healy, produces the 1975's music.[30] Daniel has described himself as the "primary producer" and Healy as the "primary songwriter".[31][32] Healy has described their relationship as "symbiotic": "We’ve got a shared musical vocabulary. Even if we’re both working remotely, we’re both working together."[33]
Outside of the 1975, Daniel has co-produced music for his Dirty Hit labelmates Beabadoobee,[34] Pale Waves,[35][36] No Rome,[37] and The Japanese House,[38] as well as artists like Charli XCX,[39] and Caroline Polacheck.[40][41]
Personal life[edit]
As of 2022, Daniel is in a relationship with English singer Charli XCX. They first met while working on the No Rome track "Spinning", released on 4 March 2021, and they collaborated again on her album Crash, released in 2022, on the album's title track and several songs on its deluxe edition.[42]
