Clint Daniels was born August 24, 1974 in Panama City, Florida, but raised in the Panama City suburb of Lynn Haven. Daniels first gained an interest in music as a child, singing with his family in church. Inspired by bluegrass music, Daniels taught himself to play guitar at age twelve. After graduating high school, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee in pursuit of a career in country music. By 1998, he was discovered by an A&R staff member from the Arista Nashville label, and was signed to the label that year.
His self-titled debut album was released September 15, 1998. It produced two singles, “A Fool’s Progress” and “When I Grow Up,” which respectively reached #44 and #53 on the country singles charts. Daniels left Arista shortly afterward, signing to Epic Records in 2003. Although he released a third single, the #56 “The Letter (Almost Home),” he never released an album for Epic and has not recorded since.
Daniels has also co-written songs for other country artists, including the Number One hits “Brokenheartsville” by Joe Nichols and “Roll with Me” by Montgomery Gentry (from 2003 and 2008 respectively), as well as Brooks & Dunn’s 2008 single “God Must Be Busy”. He also co-wrote two songs that were released in late 2010: Clay Walker’s “Where Do I Go from You” and Easton Corbin’s “I Can’t Love You Back”.
