Daniel Curtis is a speaker, storyteller and composer exploring identity, creativity and human behaviour.
Drawing on backgrounds across the creative industries, education, leadership and public speaking, Daniel explores how identity is shaped over time — the person we are, the version we learn to show the world, and the environments that either suppress or unlock confidence, creativity and human potential.
Alongside his speaking work, Daniel has produced large-scale charity campaigns supporting veterans, children with life-limiting illnesses, anti-bullying initiatives and World Mental Health Day. These projects have launched in Times Square and Piccadilly Circus, reached global audiences of millions, and brought together artists including Sir Paul McCartney, Dame Judi Dench, Will Ferrell, Whoopi Goldberg, Henry Cavill, Jack Black and Bryan Cranston.
His compositions have been heard at world-renowned venues including the Royal Albert Hall and the London Palladium. He has written for musicals, created original works that give voice to resilience and hope, and produced concerts as daring as they are memorable — including taking a piano deep underground into a Welsh coal mine to honour miners who never returned to the surface, or later died from its effects. This first-of-its-kind performance was featured on BBC Breakfast and across national news.
Daniel has also appeared on BBC One’s The One Show with Tony Bennett. His music has been broadcast multiple times on BBC Radio 2, and he has performed on several occasions at West End Live in Trafalgar Square. His work has taken him into some of the UK’s most remarkable settings, including several royal palaces.
