Daniel Hagen is an Australian worship leader, songwriter, and recording artist whose career has been shaped by a deep commitment to his faith. Before entering Christian music, Daniel fronted Australian rock band The Hollow and was on the verge of signing a major record deal. However, when asked to stop openly expressing his faith, he chose to walk away rather than compromise his beliefs.

Since then, Daniel has spent years leading worship and writing songs that have reached audiences across Australia and Europe. As a key voice within the Awakening movement, he has led worship at major gatherings including Awakening Australia and Awakening Europe, helping create powerful moments of worship for thousands.

Drawing on his rock background, Daniel’s music combines passionate worship with anthemic energy and bold faith. Songs such as “Ready or Not”, “The Jesus Hymn”, and “God My Deliverer” reflect his heart for leading people into genuine encounters with God.

Now based in the United States with his family, Daniel continues his journey as a solo artist. His latest release, “Feels Like Coming Home”, carries his passion for sharing the hope of Jesus through music that is honest, heartfelt, and faith-filled.
