   About Daniel Ahearn
-------------------------------------------------------------------

I live in Los Angeles.
From 2001 until recently, I played and recorded under the name Ill Lit
I've been blessed with the good fortune of a great many people extending their kindness to me over the years.
I am absolutely certain 'love' is the answer.



Some Recent Press for Pray for me by Name



"THE BEST OF THE BUNCH: Absolutely lovely....slice of genius...his voice is as clean as it can get, and you hear every crack, every breath countered by the beautifully-held notes" - Wireless Bollinger

"A small masterpiece...Ahearn couches both the ups and downs, the sunshine and the Santa Anas, of the West Coast" - 3Hive

"Nowadays...One of the greatest songs of 2008!" - AmericanaUk.com

"Daniel Ahearn of Ill Lit is one of those artists that other artists continually turn to for inspiration. His voice and words are pure and full of beauty—something we all work towards as writers" - Largehearted Boy

"It’s electronic alt-country, perfect for LA, where the man behind the music does his work." - Bon-Ton

"His sincerity and heart help you really attach yourself to the songs" - Herohill

"Gorgeous pop songs, the kind of things that would be soaring anthems if Ahearn trended that way. He doesn't, though, and the result is immeasurably more enjoyable gems, subtly crafted and sublimely played." - Aiding & Abetting
