Daniel Seavey
Daniel James Seavey (born April 2, 1999) is an American singer, songwriter, and record producer. He first gained national attention as a contestant on the fourteenth season of American Idol in 2015, where he placed in the Top 9. He later rose to prominence as a founding member of the boy band Why Don't We. The band released five extended plays and two albums, both of which reached the top 10 on the Billboard 200 chart, before going on hiatus in 2022.
Following the group's hiatus, Seavey released his debut single "Can't We Pretend That We're Good" in November 2022. In 2023, he embarked on his first headlining tour Introducing Daniel Seavey and released his debut EP, Dancing In The Dark.
In 2024, Seavey released "The Older You Get", the first single from his forthcoming debut album, Second Wind. He also supported fellow American Idol alum Benson Boone on the European leg of Boone's The Fireworks & Rollerblades World Tour in June 2024 as well as Dean Lewis on Lewis' The Epilogue World Tour in October 2024.
Daniel James Seavey was born on April 2, 1999 in Vancouver, Washington, the son of Keri Seavey, a religious writer and speaker, and Jeff Seavey, a Christian church pastor. One of four children, Seavey has three siblings: two older brothers, Christian and Tyler, and a younger sister, Anna.
Seavey has been playing music since the age of 4, when he stole his sister's pink toy Barbie piano and played "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" by ear. His parents then bought him every secondhand instrument they could afford including a saxophone, banjo, bass, and drums. By the time he was 10, he could play a number of instruments and was writing and singing original songs. Around this time, inspired by his father's enthusiasm, his interest in performing was sparked. Seavey began playing in talent shows, singing Train's "Hey, Soul Sister", and he and his father started making YouTube videos together and traveling to nearby Portland, Oregon to perform during the First Thursday Art Walks. Seavey would busk using speakers and a keyboard that his father borrowed from their church and his first performance, which was Adele's "Someone Like You", ended up attracting a crowd of over 300 people.
With his busking money, Seavey continued to buy instruments for his bedroom studio, eventually learning to play over 20.
In September 2014, at the age of 15, Seavey auditioned for the fourteenth 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. 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, California. Seavey then progressed to the semifinals, which were filmed at The Fillmore in Detroit, Michigan, as the youngest Top 24 finalist in Idol history. Seavey was the first 15-year-old finalist since the age of eligibility was lowered in the show's tenth season.[citation needed] He continued to advance through the rounds, ultimately reaching the Top 9 before being eliminated after his performance of Hall & Oates' "You Make My Dreams" on April 1, 2015.
Following his elimination from American Idol, Seavey returned to high school where he continued to perform, including a short stint as the opening act for Harry Connick Jr. on his summer 2015 tour, and post covers on his YouTube channel. The following year, Seavey went to Los Angeles to meet Jack Avery, Corbyn Besson, Zach Herron, and Jonah Marais. At the time, all five of them had popular YouTube channels and were releasing songs and performing as solo acts or in groups. On September 27, 2016, the five singers decided to join forces and form the group Why Don't We.
