Bio:
Daniel Land has become both a scholar and a practitioner of the kind of music he creates, studying towards a PhD on artists like the Cocteau Twins and Slowdive at the London College of Music, whilst collaborating with artists as varied as Darkher, Swoone, and the electronica auteur Ulrich Schnauss. Meanwhile, Daniel’s music has found a wider audience by gracing campaigns by brands such as Expedia and appearing in films including Only You and The Art of My Scars.

He is currently working on the third draft of a memoir covering the period from 1997 to 2000, focusing on his late teens in rural Devon, UK, and the experience of coming out in the shadow of Section 28. It explores how homophobia shaped his early relationships, the depressive fallout that followed, and the activism that emerged from his recovery: working with a charity to support isolated queer young people, campaigning for legislative change, contributing to police diversity strategies, and helping to develop national guidelines for schools on tackling homophobic bullying.
