Daniel Bedingfield

Like many bedroom producers, England's Daniel Bedingfield spends hours working on music in his room, hoping that one day, it will reach the outside world. Unlike many bedroom producers, Daniel Bedingfield's music actually did! Bedingfield's grab at the brass ring came in the form of his debut single, "Gotta Get Thru This," a No. 1 chart hit in the U.K. at the end of 2001. His R&B and garage-influenced Dance Pop is an ultra groovy mix that provides the perfect backdrop for his malleable, falsetto-happy vocals. But this twenty-two year old truly shines on gorgeous ballads filled with heartache and longing. With a sound that sits on the fringe of the Boy Band/Teen-Beat phenomenon, Bedington's music is far from unique. However, younger audiences are likely to respond to Bedington's considerable vocal talents as well as his good looks.
