Daniel Johnston bio

Daniel Dale Johnston (b. January 22, 1961) is an American singer, songwriter and musician. Johnston was the subject of the 2005 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston. He currently lives with his parents in Waller, Texas. Johnston, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, has been classified as an outsider musician. His songs are typically painfully direct, and often display a disturbing blend of childlike naïveté with darker, "spooky" themes. Johnston's singing voice is extremely high-pitched, and his performances often seem faltering or uncertain; one critic writes that Johnston's recordings range from "spotty to brilliant."
