When the band kicks in, like, the hair on my arms goes up a bit. Continue to do what you love, continue to write music. On advice for Daniel Estrin of Voyager as he performs at Eurovisionĭan Estrin (Hoobastank): I think that from what I've heard musically, it's really catchy. And then there's me tagged in it and I just get a kick out of it. Like there's been all the fans of yours that have posted in their stories a photo of you from, just like, recently, you know, last week. It's great.ĭan Estrin (Hoobastank): I have been tagged on, I'd say, Instagram, I've been tagged in photos of you many, many, many times - even like within the last week or two - from Voyager. And, right, your accent has changed a bit though,' so I get that a lot. I mean we get NPR in Australia and so the number of times people go, 'oh, I didn't realize you were doing, like, radio as well, that's really cool. And I hope that one day those three powers can combine, God knows what we can achieve.ĭan Estrin (Hoobastank): Hey, Daniel Estrins.ĭanny Estrin (Voyager): This is phenomenal.ĭaniel Estrin (NPR): Do either of you guys get mistaken for each other or mistaken for me?ĭanny Estrin (Voyager): Yeah. And that sometimes, you just got to find someone or something to tell you, hey, you know what? It's going to be all right.ĭanny Estrin (Voyager): Well, it's been a dream to unite all the Daniels Estrin. On the song that Voyager will perform at Eurovisionĭanny Estrin (Voyager): It's called "Promise." And the song, lyrically, is really all about the chaos that we see in the world today, and it's getting more and more and more chaotic. This interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity. And we offered up our vocal talents singing the opening lyrics of Voyager's Eurovision entry, Promise. We Daniels Estrin (that being the proper plural form) spoke together for the very first time, and Hoobastank's Dan Estrin shared his musical advice - and inhibitions - with Voyager's Danny Estrin ahead of his Eurovision debut.

This called for a historic Daniel Estrin summit on NPR's Morning Edition, featuring a surprise guest: Daniel Estrin, the lead guitarist of the Grammy-nominated band Hoobastank, best known for its ballad The Reason, which is now making a comeback on the Netflix series Beef. For the first time, fans around the world can vote for their favorite song. Who knew then that Daniel Estrin, immigration lawyer and rock star, would be on a meteoric rise to Eurovision fame? This week, his pop metal band Voyager is representing Australia on the Eurovision stage. Another five years after that, he was back in Tel Aviv when the city was hosting the Eurovision Song Contest, and we watched the finals together, cheering on Australia's contestant. We met five years later when he was visiting his sister in Jerusalem. A few years back, an email in my inbox sent to not quite the right address led me to a beautiful and bizarre discovery: there is a metal rocker in Australia who shares my name and has a half-shaven, half-Rapunzel head of hair.
