Daniel "Homeless" Mustard (born December 25, 1975) is an American singer-songwriter and musician. He got his nickname from being homeless. He went on the Opie and Anthony Show because he was chosen to participate in their "Homeless Shopping Spree" charity event. However, due to restrictions placed on the event by SirusXM management they were unable to follow through with the event. With airtime set aside for the event that was now needing to be filled, and because they had gone through and brought in several homeless people, they decided to improvise and hold a "Homeless Talent Show". During his interview Daniel disclosed his history as a musician and they asked him to perform a song, so he performed "Creep" by Radiohead, and delivered a solo performance that was extremely well received by surprised critics and audience alike. He has since recorded an EP, Daniel Mustard EP and was released on November 30, 2010.

On October 26, 2012, via his Facebook page, Mustard announced he would be making a short documentary about his story and career so far. He asked fans, specifically in the New York City area, to volunteer themselves to be interviewed about the first time they heard his cover and what impact it may have had on them.
Mustard's second release, Fragments of Bone, was completed and released using funding from a Kickstarter campaign on September 25, 2012 and was produced by James Bertuzzi. The album contains a new recording of his cover of "Creep".
On December 7, 2012, Mustard released a Christmas song titled "Since Santa Ain't Coming" on his YouTube channel, which was accompanied by a music video. He characterizes the song as an 'anti-Christmas song,' attributing his minimal affection for the holiday to the fact that his birthday coincides with Christmas Day.
