Australian singer/songwriter, producer, composer, and guitarist Daniel Johns made his teenage debut in the early '90s as frontman of the chart-topping alternative rock band Silverchair, later releasing electronic-pop side projects as part of the Dissociatives and Dreams, while also embarking on a genre-spanning solo career. Over the course of 15 years, Silverchair became one of the country's most successful bands. Together, they issued five Australian chart-topping, multi-platinum efforts before going on indefinite hiatus in 2011. Under Johns' guidance, the group's sound progressed from gritty Nirvana-indebted grunge to orchestral pop/rock influenced by late-era collaborator Van Dyke Parks. These genre-spanning sonic directions also found their way into Johns' electro-pop side projects, like the early-2000s duo formed with Paul Mac, the Dissociatives, and the late-2010s pairing with Luke Steele, Dreams. In 2015, Johns issued his first solo effort, Talk; his sophomore set arrived early the next decade, combining the sounds of his various eras on 2022's FutureNever.
