Daniel Robert Larson (born November 15, 1998),[1] also known as Danderson, is a self-proclaimed professional singer/songwriter, fashion model, actor, and internet celebrity most well known for his videos on TikTok. Since 2020, he has gained a large following due to his intriguing and controversial content, including his multiple bans for nudity on livestreams, running for President of the United States, and his obsession with Grace VanderWaal.

Early life

Daniel Robert Larson was born to Elisabeth Lee Shimer and James Travis Larson on November 15th, 1998, in Lancaster, California.

Though little can be definitively said about his childhood, a 2012 news report on KWGN regarding his time at the Tennyson Center for Children states that he grew up in an extremely neglectful home and allegedly abusive mother.

At age 4, Daniel's father tells of a time when Daniel painted on his grandmother's walls, and instead of punishing him, she instead chose to give him M&M's which, in his father's opinion, enforced Daniel's bad habits.

At about age 11, he was forced to no longer live with his parents, and the next person to serve as Daniel's legal guardian would be his previously mentioned and allegedly enabling grandmother, Nancy Shimer.

By age 14, Daniel was enrolled at the Tennyson Center for Children to help rehabilitate and educate him, while allowed his dreams of going to college for film school and music production flourish.

In July of 2019, Nancy passed away from cancer and Daniel was instituted into a state-run group home program for the disabled, where he remained for about two years before alternating between living with other individuals and living on the streets. His tumultuous life story has taken quite the mental toll on him, leading to the insanity we witness today.

At some point prior to his TikTok fame, Daniel was diagnosed with ADHD, autism, mental retardation and bipolar disorder. Though some fans have suspected that he may have schizophrenia, based on him having delusions of being harassed by management and his frequent outbursts of rage, this is likely due to him failing to take his medications for his bipolar disorder (as he has mentioned being prescribed with, and not taking, Latuda).

In addition, it's possible he has more disorders, as in the words of James (his father), Daniel has a "laundry list" of mental issues. It is also presumed that his neglectful parents have left him with a great deal of childhood trauma, which may exacerbate his already chaotic behavior.

Trolls

Ever since Daniel blew up on TikTok, he has been a constant target for trolls. His autism, along with his dream of being a singer have led him to being heavily manipulated by trolls, who often claim to be management of record label companies and has manipulated him into doing extremely degrading acts, such as the May 6th incident.

Daniel's accounts are constantly hacked and stolen, generating a ton of debate in the Daniel Larson community of whether or not he is really a pedophile or not. Many incidents, like the leaking of Daniel's Pinterest account by Flexburger during the headset era, are controversial due to the potential that Daniel Larson was hacked into liking and saving videos of young girls and maps of the age of consent in the United States.

Calling & texting

Daniel's number is leaked with ease, and with no accessible way to change it, he is subject to constant calls from trolls, which can be seen during his live streams where his ringtone is constantly cutting off the audio to his streams.

The trolls who call and text him usually just harass him, but in some of the more notable and infamous examples, they impersonate Grace VanderWaal, and managers of record labels and manipulate him into doing degrading things.

Physical and Mental Health

Daniel's physical and mental health is poor due to numerous factors, like his birth conditions, family, homelessness, and harassment from the trolls.

Birth conditions

Daniel, considering his looks, probably has some sort of undiagnosed birth condition.

It is known that Daniel has a speech impediment due to him not being able to pronounce words properly, like, "question", which turns out as, "kreschin".

Disease

Daniel has scabies, a skin disease where little bugs crawl into his skin and cause irritation.

Mental health

Daniel is severely mentally ill, and definitely cannot be trusted to live on his own. He has ADHD, autism, and bipolar disorder, and probably has a form of schizophrenia due to him definitely displaying the paranoia and delusions that indicate the disorder.

These illnesses often cause him to be extremely naïve, volatile, and physically dangerous, which most definitely do not help the situation.

Finances

Daniel Larson's finances are, and have always been, in disarray. When Daniel’s grandmother, Nancy Shimer, died she left her money in a trust fund to Daniel, which is currently being managed by Bob Proctor. He is homeless and constantly dine and dashes, as well as gets on buses that he does not have a ticket for.

Internet Fame and Infamy

Daniel Larson has a sleuth of social media accounts, including TikTok, YouTube, Likee, Pinterest, Twitter, Reddit, and probably many others.

Tiktok

Daniel Larson started his first TikTok account in March 2020, where he posted videos of him singing and rambling about various topics, these becoming a common theme among his posts. He started gaining popularity on the platform in Mid 2020 due to his looks, The Fog meme, and his run for Presidency.

He also would later gain another spike in popularity due to his Grace VanderWaal obsession and the celebrity in the hospital ramblings.

Reddit

On October 29th 2020, r/Daniellarson was created. This subreddit became a hub of activity in regards to Daniel, and is one of the most used sources of information regarding Daniel.

Rage

Daniel proven on multiple occasions to be very volatile and vulnerable to sudden fits of rage, them almost always captured from the perspective of Daniel’s phone. Daniel acts out in multiple ways for a sleuth of reasons, most of his rages being mostly verbal, but sometimes violent, sometimes involving him hitting people [see Jonas and Bob Proctor] and himself.[2][3]

A rare external video of Daniel was uploaded to Reddit on September 30, 2022 of Daniel hitting himself and kicking store windows. The video was supposedly filmed by Brink.
