Daniel Tompkins Singer and Songwriter from East Midlands 

Daniel Tompkins is an award winning British singer / songwriter from The East Midlands. More widely recognised as for fronting progressive metal band TesseracT with his unique live performances and unmistakable dramatic soundscapes on the highly acclaimed album ‘One’. Since 2009 Daniel has established himself as a highly respected, independent vocalist with a dedicated worldwide fan base. Arguably one of the busiest collaborative vocalists, Daniel’s voice has been celebrated as one of the best in modern progressive rock and metal.

Much more than a recording artist, he is an accomplished performer having toured the world earning a host of awards and honours from ‘Metal Hammer’ Golden God nominations to 5K Kerrang! live reviews, performing to huge audiences in excess of 10,000 spectators in India and sharing the stage with artists such as Lamb of God, Meshuggah, Devin Townsend, Senses Fail, No Use For A Name, Periphery and Protest The Hero.

Having released four successful rock / metal records (see discography), in the last 12 months Daniel has released a further three diverse albums demonstrating his natural ability to marry his sound to various genres and yet remain in mesmerising control of his audience.

Looking to the future Daniel now balances his time between TesseracT, Skyharbor, White Moth Black Butterfly and In Colour, continuing to create a strong impression within the music industry.

PEER AND PRESS QUOTES:

“Dan has a hell of a voice!!!” – DEVIN TOWNSEND

“Check out the awesome vocals of Dan Tompkins, the man can sing YEAH!!’ – JON GOMM

“There are so many musicians out there who jump from genre to genre and experiment with different kinds of sound but not all of them are able to pull it off. Out there, a bunch of them have the ability to make things so awkward, you’d just want to question what they were thinking. But then again, there are the special ones, the ones who shine in the dark and shine even brighter against the sun. The One’s who fully understand and are able to control their capabilities and of course the ones who actually know how to take things to the next level. They have this gift in whatever they do, it just works. One man who’s got this gift is UK-based vocalist, Daniel Tompkins – PULP MAGAZINE (MANILA)

“The dramatic soundscapes Dan Tompkins creates really are on another level, standing above the current crop of vocalists out there. Tesseract are destined for great things with a frontman leading the charge like this…one of the best vocals in modern metal” – SCUZZ TV – ALEX HERRON (UK)
