    Daniel Victor Snaith (born March 29, 1978) is a Canadian composer, musician, and recording artist. He has released 10 studio albums since 2000 and has recorded and performed under the stage names Caribou, Manitoba, and Daphni.

    Career

    Snaith originally recorded under the stage name Manitoba, but after being threatened with a lawsuit by Richard "Handsome Dick" Manitoba in 2004, Snaith changed his performance name to Caribou. Snaith's previous full-length albums were then re-released under the new moniker.

    When playing gigs as Caribou, Snaith performs with a live band. Currently,[when?] the live band consists of Snaith, Ryan Smith, Brad Weber, and John Schmersal. Caribou have toured worldwide since the early 2000s and performed at festivals including Coachella, Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Field Day, Bonnaroo, All Points East, Reading and Leeds, Parklife, Osheaga, amongst many others. In 2012, Caribou supported Radiohead on their ‘King of Limbs’ tour. When performing as Daphni, Snaith performs as a DJ. "I'm not the type of person who takes physical things apart and plays around with them, but I like taking mental ideas apart and playing around with them. That's what appeals to me about what I've spent my life doing", said Snaith in an interview. [1]

    Caribou's 2007 album Andorra won the 2008 Polaris Music Prize,[2] and his subsequent Caribou albums Swim (2010), Our Love (2014) and Suddenly (2020) have appeared on the Polaris Music Prize shortlist.

    In 2011, looking for an outlet for more dancefloor influenced output, began releasing music under the name Daphni. He has released 3 studio albums under this alias - Jiaolong (2012), Joli Mai (2017) and Cherry (2022).

    In December 2011, Caribou curated the All Tomorrow's Parties "Nightmare Before Christmas" festival in Minehead, England, alongside co-curators Battles and Les Savy Fav.[3]

    Caribou was awarded Essential Mix of the Year in 2014 by Mixmag for his "Essential Mix" on 18 October 2014.[4]

    Caribou's 2014 album Our Love received the IMPALA Album of the Year Award.

    In 2015, Caribou’s album Our Love was nominated for a Grammy for ‘Best Electronic/Dance Album’ and in 2021 Caribou’s single ‘You Can Do it' was nominated for the Grammy for ‘Best Dance Recording’.

    In 2011, 2015 and 2021 Caribou’s albums Swim, Our Love and Suddenly won the Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year.

    In 2021 he also received the Libera Awards as Best Dance/Electric Record 2021 for his album Suddenly (Merge Records) by the American Association of Independent Music (A2IM).[5]

    Personal life

    In 2005, Snaith received a PhD degree in mathematics from Imperial College London, for work on Overconvergent Siegel Modular Symbols under Kevin Buzzard.[6] Snaith described his work ironically in a modest manner as "original, but I would still call it trivial."[7] He is the son of mathematician Victor Snaith [de] and brother of mathematician Nina Snaith.
