Daniel DeBourg is a pop singer that was born in Chelmsford, England. DeBourg got his starting writing songs for UK singer Jamelia (known for hits like "Thank You" and "Stop"). Daniel Debourg was influenced by the videos by Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson to pursue dance at the age of four, once DeBourg hit age eleven, he had been admitted to study at the exclusive Royal Ballet School. Although dance was his primary interest, as a teen he was also fronting bands.

Through a friend, Debourg sang some rough demos, Daniel dutifully sang a few songs a cappella into a Dictaphone, then sent the tiny tape to artist manager Dean Zepherin, the demo soon landed in the hands of Robbie Robertson, who was scouting talent for Dreamworks. Impressed by Debourg's soulful voice, the label signed the fledgling singer to a deal.

Daniel started work on his debut album in 2001, he boarded a plane to L.A. Feeling a responsibility to his parents as well as to himself, he hit the studio like a man with a mission, riding an initial rush of creative energy that resulted in two dozen songs in five weeks.

Working with the likes of R.Kelly, and Tim & Bob, DeBourg released his debut album, Tell The World in 2002, the first single produced by Kelly, "I Need An Angel" hit Top 30 on the Billboard charts. In 2004 the single was remade by American Idol winner Ruben Studdard, on his album of the same title I Need An Angel.

DeBourg is currently at work on his 2nd album.
