At nineteen, Daniel Ifill is not just an ordinary teenager still trying to figure out a career but rather he is miles ahead as he is already a dancer, model and makeup artist who when he’s not working his skills backstage on some performer’s face is flaunting his stuff on a stage he takes charge of.
More than a month ago, The Scene caught sight of this young man when he serenaded the small gathering with his mesmerizing voice singing a reggae piece at the launching of the Miss Guyana Talented Teen and the Miss Princess Guyana Pageants at the National Cultural Centre.
This year marks four years since Ifill has professionally taken up singing but like most artistes, he began singing much earlier, at age four. Coming from an array of ardent church-goers and a line of soprano and alto singers, his voice was trained to sing for God. His favourite song to sing was ‘His Eye Is on the Sparrow’. Daniel’s journey of singing began with gospels but he has since expanded to singing R&B songs. Presently he only does covers but hopes to take up singing originals and writing his own pieces.
