Daniel Johnston
Daniel Dale Johnston is an American singer, songwriter and visual artist considered a key figure in off-story, lo-fi and alternative music. Much of his work consists solely of homemade cassettes, and his music is frequently cited for its "innocent" and "childish" qualities. Johnston spent a long time in mental institutions and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He won a local audience in the 1980s by playing his music tapes while working at a McDonald's in Austin, Texas. His cult status was further bolstered when Nirvana's Kurt Cobain wore a t-shirt with artwork on Johnston's 1983 album Hi, How Are You. In addition to music, Johnston is also a visual artist, with his illustrations exhibited in galleries around the world. His battle with mental illness was the subject of the documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston in 2005. He died in 2019 on suspicion of a heart attack.
