All You Need to Know; Trevor Daniel
Not long after their collaboration on ‘Past Life,’ it looks like Selena Gomez and Trevor Daniel are gearing up to drop yet another music video for it. Over the weekend, the young stars took to social medial to drop a pair of teasers for their upcoming video.
In the brief clip we see their names scrawled in red as a camera flies high over a vast canyon.
Speaking of their collaboration, Gomez gushed over her love for the song and the impact it had on her: “When I heard the song the first time, I loved the fact that it was kind of like a story about all the things that we tend to hold onto and the patterns that we have. And I’m very, very vocal about my personal experiences making decisions that aren’t necessarily healthy for me.”
The track finds its space on Daniel’s debut studio album ‘Nicotine’. Now, while we wait for the music video to drop, we thought it might be the perfect time to properly introduce you to the up and coming Trevor Daniel, just to get to know him a tad bit more intimately.

1. Originally born in Texas, Daniel started off like any other musician: he produced his early songs from his bedroom and released them on SoundCloud.
2. While he was initially more interested in pursuing rap, he also tried his hand at what he calls “classical singing,” and therefore ended up leaning more towards the latter.
3. When working on his vocals, he often drew inspiration from Dua Lipa and The Weeknd’s records.
4. Speaking of inspiring artists, Tame Impala also falls under that umbrella. Listening to their music helped Daniel flesh out his debut album, ‘Nicotine’.
5. ‘Nicotine’ was never recorded out of a fancy studio. Trevor Daniel officially began making the album in an Airbnb he had rented in L.A.
6. He initially gained popularity thanks to Tik Tok. The app helped skyrocket his catchy tune ‘Falling’.
7. Trevor Daniel released his debut record bang in the middle of the global pandemic, which was a brave move considering how many artists were thrown off schedule due to this global crisis.
8. Finneas O’Connell, Billie Eilish’s big brother, wrote and produced ‘Nicotine’s’ hit track, ‘Past Life.’
9. Trevor Daniel once described the music video for ‘Falling’ as “more of a short film to me than just a music video, and I’m excited to share my visions with everyone.”
10. The remixed version of ‘Past Life’ featuring Selena Gomez, marks the newbie’s first big collaboration in the music scene.
