Toronto/LA-Based Indie Pop Artist Julian Daniel Captures a New Kind of Wonder with “Northern Lights”
Hailing from Maple, Ontario, and now dividing his time between Toronto and Los Angeles, emerging indie-pop artist Julian Daniel returns with his latest single, “Northern Lights.” Known for blending meaningful lyrics with upbeat instrumentals, Julian offers a fresh fusion of indie pop and rock, drawing inspiration from artists like Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, and Gus Dapperton.
“Northern Lights” redefines the awe of natural wonders as it shifts focus to the phenomenon of love in the least expected places.
Julian shares,
“I know what you may be thinking: “does he know the Northern Lights can’t be seen above Rodeo Drive?” To which I say yes, but I don’t need to see a natural wonder to know that it’s sitting right beside me gently humming our favourite songs with wind-swept hair.“
Since debuting in 2019, Julian Daniel has released over 20 tracks, including the viral hit “Lemontree,” which gained recognition from The Chainsmokers. Known for exploring themes like love, self-discovery, and life’s hidden secrets, Julian aims to create music that feels both cinematic and deeply personal. With a rapidly expanding discography and a gift for storytelling, Julian continues to push the boundaries of indie pop, blending nostalgia with a modern edge.
