He was known for his songwriting credits on songs by Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Whitney Houston. Daniels won a Grammy Award in 2000 for songwriting on "Say My Name" by Destiny's Child, and was nominated again in 2013 for "Love and War" performed by Tamar Braxton.
Daniels worked with longtime colleague Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins and wrote several of the Darkchild Team's hit songs, among them "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy & Monica, "Say My Name" and "Lose My Breath" by Destiny's Child, "It's Not Right (But It's Okay)" by Whitney Houston, "Tell Me" by Melanie B, "If You Had My Love" by Jennifer Lopez, and "Can't Leave 'Em Alone" by Ciara.
