About the Artist

Country Music Without Permission

He wrote "Nirvana's Song" for his newborn daughter. He built "Cowboys Wear Stetsons" with a Nashville steel guitar legend and musicians from 15 countries. No label. No machine. No permission asked. Duncan Daniels is an independent Black country artist whose 9 million streams came from the music itself, not from an industry that was ready for him.

Rolling Stone and SPIN took notice. Grammy voters took notice. But the listeners came first. As an independent country songwriter, Duncan Daniels carries forward the legacy of artists like Charley Pride and DeFord Bailey while proving that new country music doesn't need Nashville's permission to reach the world. More than 50 musicians across 15 countries already believed that.
