Daniel Giles Gillespie Sells (/ɡɪˈlɛspi/; born 20 September 1978) is a British singer-songwriter and guitarist, best known as being the lead vocalist and frontman for the pop/rock group The Feeling.
Sells and his brother were co-parented, being brought up dividing their time between their father's house and their mother's house after their parents split when he was three years old. His mother is the disability rights campaigner Katherine Gillespie Sells. He was also parented by his mother's former partner Dilis, whom he refers to as his other mother. Sells attended The Ashmole School in London along with fellow students Amy Winehouse and Rachel Stevens (S Club 7). He studied at the BRIT School which many new British groups originate from such as The Kooks in Croydon.
In early 2007, Sells was seen in an advertising campaign for the Autograph range at Marks and Spencer. He says he took part partly because his grandmother liked M&S, and would like to see him advertising it.
In addition to his work with The Feeling, he co-wrote songs for Sophie Ellis-Bextor's third solo album, Trip the Light Fantastic. The two songs he co-wrote appear on the track-listing as, "Only One" and "Love Is Here". Both tracks also feature his vocals, and "Love Is Here" includes his bandmate Richard Jones, Sophie Ellis-Bextor's husband, on bass guitar. Ellis-Bextor features on The Feeling's album, Together We Were Made, in song "Leave me Out Of It".
