About Me
Photo of me:
Hello! I'm Daniel Best and I'm a paranoid schizophrenic by diagnosis. It's been a terribly rocky road along the way, but I've tried not to let all that get in the way. I'm very creative, I believe, and as well as being the frontman for an alternative rock band and releasing some six albums, I've also painted numerous paintings, written three books relating to my mental health experiences, and I've recently gained a BSc (Hons)degree in mathematics and physics. I've created this website from scratch using Python. Happy to meet you! Please feel free to look around!

Music
Two Five Burn is the name of the band I play in.
The album cover for our first album "Two Five Burn"
Two Five Burn has had several line-ups since our birth over thirty years ago. At the moment, we are made up of a singer-guitarist (me), a bassist (Massimo Massaro) and a drummer (Rob Massaro).
My art
I like to make paintings sometimes.
"Dream", a painting of mine.
Usually when the seasons change I might have some vivid dream in which I'm somehow painting my surroundings, and when I wake up (usually at four in the morning) I get my painting gear out and make some art.
Books
I've written about my experiences!
A book I've written...
So far I've written and published three books: The Chicken Shop Incident, The Prayer: Journey into Madness, and Monopolies Volume One: Dreams, Poesy and Psychotic Prose. All are available on Amazon.
