Daniel Victor is a Canadian, Juno Award-nominated recording artist and producer from Windsor, Ontario, best known for his collaborative music project Neverending White Lights. Daniel's song "The Grace" featuring the voice of Dallas Green, was a number 1 hit in Canada and would be the song that would establish City and Colour as a stalwart on Canadian indie rock radio. I had dinner with Daniel a few weeks back when I was in Windsor and we had such a fabulous chat that I wanted to bring him here. Please welcome Daniel Victor.
