Биография

Daniel Gum is a singer-songwriter from Kansas City. Thirteen is his latest recording project— the full-length album was released on 10.30.20 and recorded by Mike Crawford at his studio in Midtown. 
 "Gum has an obvious knack for turning his pain into something elegant, drifting from cautious sparseness to subdued urgency — with a folk backbeat, twinkling pedal steel and reverb-drenched undertones. It’s reminiscent of Elliott Smith, whose music Gum found a close kinship with." - Michelle Bacon, 90.9 The Bridge (NPR) Review of "In the Worst Ways" 
 “Daniel Gum’s Thirteen feels like the soundtrack to figuring out life in your twenties– a portrait of transition, reflection, and gratefulness (with a hint of cynicism). The album shifts back and forth from optimism to mellow reflection, finding a sweet spot for introspection somewhere between despondence and joy . . . While the record is full of deeply personal and honest reflections of Gum’s young adult life, I think everyone who listens can create their own internal universe based around the Andrews, Marys, and Sarahs of their own life." - Coco Lashar, Manor Records

Ben Clinton (Pillow) then referred Daniel to Chloe Jacobson and he helped record and mix her debut album Frozen Fruit. Later producing and recording her single Nice 2 Meet U.
