Shawn Eric Slocum was born on October 25th, 1984 in Grand Prairie, Texas. Brought into the world by father Ray Slocum and mother Ann Butler. Unable to properly care for him Shawn "later to become Daniel Walcher" was placed into the states care and moved to Christ Haven's home for children in Keller, Texas. After being moved around between a handful of foster families Shawn finally found some stability at the age of 6 by being fostered full time by Wallace and Kathryn Walcher. At the age of ten, Shawn was adopted, moved to a small farm in northern Oklahoma and changed his name to Daniel Shawn Walcher. He quickly began exploring music and songwriting both as a pastime and an outlet for his emotions and thoughts. At the age of 15 Daniel and his family moved to Edmond, Oklahoma where he began drumming professionally for a local church and surrounding himself with other experienced musicians. Daniel continued to study and write music and at the age of 18 released his first record titled "Life-Spliced-Together" with producer Will Hunt. After selling 1100 records, Daniel took a break from music to try college and work but quickly realized neither were for him.
