Daniel Obediah Payne is from the town of Cow Head on the Northern Peninsula.
For over a decade now, he has worked as a professional musician, performing the traditional music of Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as collecting songs and dance tunes from older traditional players around the province. Starting in his teens with guitar and voice, Daniel has gone on to become proficient in a wide variety of instruments, including fiddle, accordion, mandolin, flute, whistle, and bodhran. He has also enjoyed a successful career as an actor in theatre and film, his most notable role being a starring performance as Ned Andrews in the mini-series Random Passage.
