Mr. Daniel E. Hill, affectionately known as “Daniel Gosier, Jr.” and to many through his music as “Rocastar Danny,” was born on July 11, 2002, in Valdosta, Georgia, to Demetra Hill of Valdosta, Georgia, and Daniel Gosier of Quitman, Georgia.

Through his creativity and love for music, “Rocastar Danny” was born. Music gave Daniel an opportunity to express himself and connect with others in a way that was uniquely his own.

Daniel possessed a laid-back, cool, and chill spirit. He enjoyed life, loved his family deeply, and treasured the friendships and relationships he developed throughout his journey.
