Daniel He is a Chinese-born, Germany-based singer-songwriter whose music explores grief, identity, and cultural in-betweenness. After losing his mother in Wuhan during the pandemic, he turned to songwriting as a way to process his loss, inspired by her diaries and their shared introspective nature. Writing in English and drawing from influences like Joni Mitchell, Elliott Smith, and Nick Drake, Daniel blends Western folk with subtle Chinese elements. His lyrics reflect the tension of living between worlds—embracing his life as a gay man in Germany while feeling a lingering disconnection from Chinese traditions. For Daniel, music is both self-translation and emotional truth-telling.
