Daniel Mustard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel "Homeless" Mustard (born December 25, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. He got his nickname from being homeless. He went on the Opie and Anthony Show because he was homeless and during his interview Daniel disclosed his history as a musician. They asked him to perform a song and he performed "Creep" by Radiohead and delivered a solo performance which was better than interviewers or audience expected. He has since recorded an EP, Daniel Mustard EP and was released on November 30, 2010.[1][2]

On October 26, 2012, via his Facebook page, Mustard announced he would be making a short documentary about his story and career so far.[citation needed] He asked fans, specifically in the New York City area, to volunteer themselves to be interviewed about the first time they heard his cover and what impact it may have had on them.

Mustard's second release, Fragments of Bone, was completed and released using funding from a Kickstarter campaign on September 25, 2012 and was produced by James Bertuzzi. The album contains a new recording of his cover of "Creep".

On December 7, 2012, Mustard released a Christmas song called "Since Santa Ain't Coming" through his YouTube channel accompanied by a music video. He describes the song as an 'anti-Christmas song' due to his little love for the holiday, mostly because his birthday happens to fall on the same day.[citation needed]
