Daniel Pigden
Daniel Pigden is a spoken word artist, poet, rapper and nature loving wild man from the United Kingdom on a huge journey of self discovery, reminiscent of the path of the shaman. Dyslexia and childhood trauma resulted in a person who thought they couldn’t write, but who challenged those beliefs and found poetry began to pour out. He first discovered he had a gift for rap on a moonlit beach and performs under the name Lunar Cycle.
Danny describes himself as a work in progress, seeing healing as a path we are all on rather than the final destination. He has been in successful recovery from heroin and crack addiction for 12 years. Danny has been homeless off and on for the past 2 years and spent time living in the Peak District in a cave and in a church doorway. Danny is also a highly skilled chef with a keen passion for foraging.
Now returning to make a new home in Scotland, he no longer fears the dark and has learnt to love himself and all his layers. During this time he wrote ‘I AM’, his first book. Danny’s aim is to build community and effect positive change, especially in how homelessness and addiction are treated.
He encourages us all to question everything and realise just how beautiful, magical and amazing we all are. I AM is Daniel's first book and is currently available for preorder.
