Biography[edit]
Daniel Peixoto was born in the Aldeota district of Fortaleza, Ceará. He began singing professionally around the age of 22, but since his childhood, he learned to play piano and act. During his adolescence he also did fashion model's work and host regional TV shows.[2] His passion to singers like Madonna, Iggy Pop, David Bowie – which he was compared to by a journalist of The Guardian[3] – and Björk push him to the music world and, in 2005, he emerged as the frontman of electropunk duo, Montage, which was praised by Justin Timberlake as "The Prodigy meets Shiny Toy Guns with tons of Brazilian passion. Taste it only if you dare".[4] Actually, Daniel opened the Prodigy Brazil's concert in 2009,[5] but alone, without the duo, who separated in the same year.

He peaked the TOP 10 in the German Airplay Chart[11] with the song Eu Só Paro Se Cair (I Only Stop When I Fall Over).
Daniel developed a dance party, a mix of music, fashion and art, called Shine Party. The third, and last, edition featured the tecno brega muse, Gaby Amarantos.[12] The song "Olhos Castanhos" (Brown Eyes) is in the soundtrack of Brazilian telenovela, "Lado a Lado" (in English, Side by Side).[13] The song "Shine" became single with video.[14]
His last single from "Mastigando Humanos" was Flei, released on January 29 as a digital EP along with two remixes to the song. The video was shot in Fortaleza.[15]
