One of [[Daniel Larson|Daniel's]] most pursued life-long aspirations | |||
One of [[Daniel Larson|Daniel's]] most pursued life-long aspirations is to become a world-famous singer. With the help of his mentor, [[Bob Proctor]], and occasionally [[Management|others]], Daniel has been able to produce multiple songs, although most of his [[discography]] has not been officially released. As of 2024, Daniel has published three official songs: ''[[Roaring Thunder]]'' (2021)'', [[Something More]]'' (2022) and ''[[Merry Go Round]]'' (2023). | |||
The release of his music doesn't come without controversy, as it is believed that Daniel (or rather, Bob) simply buy the rights to a pre-existing song, providing nothing original except for vocals. It is also speculated that Daniel has not truly written any of the lyrics to his songs, given his limited vocabulary, which is most likely true given that most of Daniel's non-studio recorded songs are made by [[Management|managers]] who tell him what to say over a beat. The truth behind these allegations cannot be confirmed at this time. | The release of his music doesn't come without controversy, as it is believed that Daniel (or rather, Bob) simply buy the rights to a pre-existing song, providing nothing original except for vocals.

According to Daniel, it takes approximately two to four days to produce one song. The high cost of music production, in combination with his financial instability and [[Homeless Era|housing crisis]], has limited the amount of songs he's been able to create. From July 2021 to July 2022, Daniel claims to have made $400 from the song Roaring Thunder. <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=BnHMIG-xbyQ</ref> | According to Daniel, it takes approximately two to four days to produce one song.

Daniel has claimed multiple times that he is a world-famous singer, claiming in an [[Monkeyman Interview|interview with Monkeyman]] that he had 800 million to 1.2 billion fans of his music, although being obviously untrue, because if it were true, it would mean that 10% of the world's population would know who Daniel is, when they obviously don't. According to an interview with [[Luke]], Daniel genuinely believes he is a world-famous singer, mostly because he is regularly recognized in Denver. Luke says Daniel does not understand that he is infamous and no one genuinely likes his music, mainly due to his [[delusions]]. | Daniel has claimed multiple times that he is a world-famous singer, claiming in an [[Monkeyman Interview|interview with Monkeyman]] that he had 800 million to 1.2 billion fans of his music, although being obviously untrue, because if it were true, it would mean that 10% of the world's population would know who Daniel is, when they obviously don't.

Daniel's interest in music can be tracked back to his childhood. In his childhood, Daniel would be enrolled in several [[Musical Theater|musical theater productions]]. It in unclear who put him in these programs, but it is likely that his grandmother did, as she was the one who held custody over him during this time. | |||

It is also worth noting that his mother, [[Elisabeth Shimer]], had a keen interest in music. On her YouTube channel, she would share and post several covers of music. And just like her son, she shared delusions of having fans, although these delusions do not appear to be as severe as Daniel's. It is highly likely that this may have rubbed off on Daniel, as Elisabeth seemed to have an intense wants to be famous and have fans, going as far as attending photoshoots as if she was a real celebrity. | It is also worth noting that his mother, [[Elisabeth Shimer]], had a keen interest in music.

Most of Daniel's songwriting output has been him singing over lyrics that are, more often than not, not written by him. Before any of his official musical releases, most of Daniel's songs were written by Daniel himself and with most help coming from [[Management|managers]], although their quality easily falls flat compared to his studio recorded songs. Daniel has written only a few truly original songs, but the results are riddled with multiple issues. | In Daniel's CV, he mentions receiving voice lessons from someone named "Dulcimer," although it is unclear who that is.<ref>[[:File:DanielMusicalPaper.png]]</ref> | ||

Most of Daniel's lyrics appear to be somewhat autobiographical. The lyrics of ''Something More'' showed, although small, insight on Daniel's thought processes and struggles with schizophrenia, with its most quoted lyric being ''"I'm surrounded by people I don't see"''. In his song, ''[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DKIBaMTLODM Grace and I Freestyle],''<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DKIBaMTLODM</ref> Daniel sings about his desire to date [[Grace VanderWaal]] and have sex with her even though at the time of release, she was still a [[Pedophilia|minor]]. This song very well aligns with his unbridled lust for her, and funnily enough, the most repeated lyric is "sex". | Most of Daniel's lyrics appear to be somewhat autobiographical.

Daniel's idea of making music is going to a recording studio in person and recording there, often deluded by ideas that he is a famous singer-songwriter, therefore he deserves to sing in a recording studio. This is odd, considering the huge losses in profit that come from it. More money (that [[Bob Proctor]] is spending, by the way) is spent booking and paying for these appointments than money earned from sales of Daniel's songs, which Daniel does not seem to understand at all, demanding this setup apart from others. Daniel is seemingly unaware of the incredible leaps and bounds that music recording has advanced and hasn't noticed that there are plenty of good multitrack sound editors available for free, and that going to a recording studio in person is not at all necessary. | Daniel's idea of making music is going to a recording studio in person and recording there, often deluded by ideas that he is a famous singer-songwriter, therefore he deserves to sing in a recording studio.
