Daniel Jones (born 22 July 1973) is a British-born Australian musician, songwriter, record producer and real estate agent. He was a member of the Australian pop duo Savage Garden, whose international hit singles included "I Want You", "To the Moon and Back", "Truly Madly Deeply", "I Knew I Loved You", and "Crash and Burn".[1]

Personal life

Jones was born in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, the youngest of three boys. When he was a year old, his family moved to Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.[2]

In 2000, Jones met Kathleen de Leon, an original member of Hi-5, an Australian children's musical group aligned with a TV series of the same name, at the 42nd Annual TV Week Logie Awards. Jones proposed to de Leon on his 30th birthday at the GPO Bar in Brisbane.[3] Jones wed de Leon at Avica Weddings and Resort on the Gold Coast in Queensland on 9 October 2005.[4]

Musical career

Early career

Jones was about 18 years old when he was in a band called Red Edge with his brother and some friends, but the band needed a singer. Jones put an advertisement in the local Brisbane music paper, Time Off, looking for a suitable singer. Darren Hayes responded to the ad and became their singer. Hayes got tired of performing other people's songs and he was ready to quit Red Edge, and Jones wanted to create his own music. Both decided to leave the band and began to pursue a career together, marking the beginning of Savage Garden.[5]

Savage Garden

Main article: Savage Garden

According to the credits on their albums, Darren Hayes handled lead vocals and arrangements, while Jones played guitar, keyboard and sang. They wrote their songs together.[6]

Originally, both men travelled the world to promote their first album, Savage Garden (1997). As travel strain and other issues began to take their toll on Jones, he decided that he was not comfortable with the press junket circuits and the intense scrutiny from fans and media that came with them, and informed the band's manager that he wanted to leave. As a result, Hayes agreed to take on most of the promotional duties for the band until the release of their second album, Affirmation in 1999. In 2001, Hayes announced that Savage Garden was over. Affirmation sold 8 million copies.[7]

After Savage Garden

In 2001, Jones built his own recording studio and launched the music label Meridien Musik. The label's first act was Aneiki, a duo consisting of Grant Wallis and Jennifer Waite, who was one of the backing vocalists who travelled with Savage Garden during their The Future of Earthly Delites tour. Meridien Musik released their album Words in Place of Objects;[8] Jones wrote five songs with Waite: "Dearest", "She Says", "Saving Grace", "Feel This Fool" and "Sugarlust". Words in Place of Objects was the only music Aneiki would release.

In 2002, Jones worked with another Australian duo, called Bachelor Girl, to co-write a song called "Falling" for their fourth and last album, Dysfunctional. In 2004, Jones helped produce for Australian pop-rock musician Julie Strickland and the Australian act The Wish (Peter Freebairn and Bill Kio) for their respective debut albums.[citation needed]

Jones then left the music industry, moved to Las Vegas, and went into the real estate business.[9] In 2015, Jones, de Leon, and their two daughters, Mikayla (born 2006) and Keira (born 2010) were residing in the United States.[10] They returned home to live on the Gold Coast in 2023.[11]
