Daniel Bearden Jr. was born on 5 December 1994 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
Early Life
As a very young age, Daniel could often be found going from room to room drumming with pencils, chopsticks or anything he could find to make music. The sound that resonated was not noise, it was music. This talent was noticed and nourished. At the age of five, his mother purchased a full drum set for him and secured private music lessons. His brother and sister also recognized that Daniel had something special.
