Daniel Jones (born 22 July 1973) is an English-born Australian musician, songwriter, and record producer. He is best known for being a member of the successful Australian pop duo Savage Garden, whose international hit singles included the songs "I Want You", "To the Moon and Back", "Truly Madly Deeply", "I Knew I Loved You", and "Crash and Burn". After Savage Garden split in 2001, Jones launched his own production company (Meridien Musik) and a recording studio (Level 7 Studios), to work with various new, young Australian artists.
Jones was born at Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, but his family moved to Australia when he was less than a year old. The Jones family settled down in Australia at Brisbane in Queensland, where Daniel grew up as the youngest of three boys.
In 2000, Jones met Kathleen de Leon, a member of successful children's group Hi-5, at the 42nd Annual TV Week Logie Awards. Jones proposed to de Leon on his 30th birthday at the GPO Bar in Brisbane. Jones wed de Leon at Avica Weddings and Resort on the Gold Coast in Queensland on 9 October 2005.
As of July 2015, Jones, de Leon and their two children reside in the United States.
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, whereas 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.
