Daniel

Daniel is a character and fictionalized version of Declan McKenna, created for his fourth album, Zeros. He appears in every song on the album, including by name in "Be an Astronaut" and "Daniel, You're Still a Child". In the "The Key to Life on Earth" music video, Daniel invites Declan and Alex Lawther to a "fancy dress party" but never appears on-screen.

According to Zeros Zine, Daniel went missing on 9 July 2020. His disappearance was first mentioned in "Daniel, You're Still a Child" and went on to be referenced several times throughout the era.

An official YouTube channel was created for Daniel on 15 March 2016, where he released 2 songs ("My Song 1" and "Dmdmdm") as part of the Dec the Halls campaign in December 2020.
